Actually not true ... rape and sexual assault is significantly higher in the general population. For the period 1995–2013, females ages 18 to 24 not enrolled in a post-secondary school were 1.2 times more likely to experience rape and sexual assault victimization (7.6 per1,000), compared to...

I’m sure that Cadet Whisenhunt will take great solace in knowing that he is just a statistical anomaly. From what I’ve read on the case, Jacob was offered a plea bargain, but turned it down because he felt he was innocent of any crime. Just to put a face on the convict, I thought I’d link a...

There is an old saying that History repeats itself … or at least it rhymes. Almost four years ago to the day: https://www.serviceacademyforums.com/index.php?threads/justice-at-west-point.33137/#post-322975 The Wall St Journal published a half-page opinion article today about former USMA...

According to the PEW Foundation, their analysis of the media coverage during the first 100 days of the past three presidents: Bill Clinton : 28% favorable / 44% neutral / 28% unfavorable George Bush : 22% favorable / 50% neutral / 28% unfavorable Barack Obama : 42% favorable / 38% neutral...

Believe me, I am no babe in the woods when it comes to the backstabbing machinations that are considered normal in the political theater. I am merely observing the difference in coverage of this event, then say ... the Valerie Plame fiasco. The media in this country rightly deserve every bit...

You know what bothers me most about this whole kerfuffle? No one seems to care that (reportedly) nine Intelligence Community members broke their oaths to leak this intel to members of the press - ostensibly for purely partisan political purposes. Now I know that "everyone" knows that we are...

To answer your question, if I were VP Pence - I would make clear to Gen. Flynn that "this was his one mulligan." Then I would have someone from my office give him a quick refresher course in "how to speak like a politician" to the press.

Acceptability is in the eye of the beholder. Much like various sodomy laws that currently reside on the books of many states - the reason the Logan Act has never been enforced, is that it is most certainly unconstitutional. Stop and think for a moment - a law that says a private citizen can...

Really ?? General Flynn violated the Logan Act? A piece of legislation authored in 1799, where the only actual indictment occurred in 1803 when a Kentucky farmer wrote an article in a local newspaper. You better prepare jail cells for Jesse Jackson, and former Presidents Carter and Clinton...

Mr. Jcleppe, not too belabor the point, because I really don't care all that much - but if you can't see the inconsistencies in these two statements, made just eleven minutes apart...then I don't know what to say

So it's the time of the announcement that seems to bother you ?? Just a simple observation - on the west coast, this announcement came at 5pm, hardly "prime time" I know you easterners believe your time zone is the center of the universe ... but come on. ;) Besides, it wasn't like he was...

You're old fashioned. Also google is your friend. When President Obama announced Elana Kagan to the Supreme Court - the ceremony was held in the exact same room, with the attendees clapping. Ten seconds to google this.

My son also got a C in AP calculus. But he also got a 5 on the AP exam and had a super scored 35 ACT. He will be graduating in 2017 from West Point with a degree in electrical engineering. Don't let this minor setback deter her, you learn from your mistakes, not from your successes.

Trigger Warning !! We have a admitted ageist in our midst ... where's the ban-hammer? ;)
