I believe this is the quote referred to --
Also, with regard to the photos, the connection of the pictures to the negative connotation that West Point is going downhill was unfair to the new cadets in the photos. Their image was used as an example of what is wrong with training this year.

EVERYONE knows that the degree of difficulty in Beast is very low compared to past years for all Cadets- especially for women. I know this is a "politically incorrect" statement but ask ANY upperclassman if you do not believe this is true. My son (now a Cow) was very surprised and disappointed at the lack of difficulty and the low standards.
Try coming down hard on a woman in Beast - if she gets too emotional the upper class cadet is in trouble - ask any upperclassman in beast for confirmation.
My son was just a Cadre at Buckner - he said that it is a losing proposition to try to be as hard on a female as a male Cadet -
There are many outstanding women Cadets but many just get by because other Cadets are not hard on them because of fear of getting in trouble. Lets quit pretending that the military and physical standards for men and women are equal.
