As a side note, the picture from the Washington Times article was blown up from this
official USAFA public anouncement (see
http://www.usafa.af.mil/News/Articl...academy-cadets-march-in-inaugural-parade.aspx ). I'm willing to cut the Cadets marching some slack because it was taken before the parade started. That said, there is no excuse for a USAFA employee, Melissa Porter (U.S. Air Force Academy Public Affairs), to post a picture of Cadets "marching" before the parade route. They are out of step because they were in a pseudo-casual mode. Up to this point, I'm a little suspicious of what the authors beef is. A.K.A., he is stretching to make his point.
But I was interested in seeing how the Cadets looked when they crossed the President's viewing station. Google is a powerful tool.
Answer: See

Advise to the author L Todd Wood: First, try Googling for 3 seconds. You could have put together an even a stronger argument. Perception is reality: and the perception is, the small group of marchers lacked discipline. I'm going to call a spade a spade; guilty as charged.
