I took Chockstock's comments as simply saying that although it would be nice in this case if the public were to only hold the cadet accountable, not the academy, in reality, just as in the mid story, some people are going to jump on it. Not say "wow, the cadet was a thief", but "West Point cadets are thieves!" You saw how much press the West Point grad stealing Army funds got - no reason to think this would be any different. So I just thought he was saying "I WISH people would only blame the cadet, not spread the blame to the Academy as a whole". Maybe I interpreted it wrong, but I didn't take it at all as a chip on the shoulder.
