Copy all. Let me recap for you, above you said "flawed system at USAFA" then you said "Haven't read it. Don't plan on reading it." Therefore you labeled a system flawed that you know nothing about. Secondly you said, "My "ding ding" is you came to SAF to comment on this thread." Also a false statement. That is what I was referencing in my post above. I don't think I'm the one who needs a step by step. Try reading #185, #186, and #209 and see if you can keep up with the conversation.
WHOA! Look at that! Looks like someone's talking on the radio. Wowzaaa. Yes, take a look at post #186 and again, think about what the Ding Ding Ding was about. Hint: I quoted what ding ding ding was about.
So something is flawed.... right? Only you've stated that you trust USAFA's admin and leadership, as well as those who have more info than we do (including you, I assume). If the leadership isn't the issue, and the honor code isn't the issue.... the final piece of that puzzle are the cadets. So, would you maintain the cadets are the problem? Is that why you've chosen to back them up the entire time.
I'm going to assume for a second that Scratcher is in the Air Force. I'm going to assume he/she hasn't graduated yet though, but I may very well be wrong. Heck, I might be wrong about Scratcher being in the Air Force, but to the degree that Scratcher has engaged, I'm guessing, without anything to back it up, Scratcher is an AFA cadet who thinks this is a personal attack on his institution.
What I hope Scratcher as some point realizes is, ridding any academy of dishonorable individuals is what we should all want. I don't care if they are cadets from USMA, USAFA or my favorite, USCGA. I don't care if they are midshipmen from USNA or USMMA.... if they have issues with honor, send them packing.
I don't need to hear sob stories about people's best friends who lied, were given a second chance, and now look good in uniform. I don't care. For me, it's cut and dry. Lie. Cheat. Steal. Attempt to deceive. You're gone.
Now maybe Scratcher and Co. feel the need to defend "boys being boys" or "growing up". If there's so much "growth", should you really trust a cadet run honor board?
If the issue isn't the code. And it isn't the leadership. Then it must be the cadets.... because if it isn't.... well, there are MUCH bigger problems at USAFA. Or maybe we just want to chalk it up to the youngest service academy having some growing pains? I don't know. They've had more than their fair share of issues in the recent past (and not so recent past).
But, please, Zoomies, enlighten those of us who have not attended USAFA.... where are the issues, and why does it continue to get the attention at USAFA that it does?
