#2 Beso,

In fairness, he did what any commanding officer MUST do in a situation like this. On one or two occasions during my military service, I had to listen to - and in one case, deliver - similar lectures.

Having said that, I wish he had not been quite so public about it. Sadly, given recent history with this sort of thing, the USAFOSI investigators are certainly looking at the possibility that this was not what it appears to be, and had LTGEN Silveria given that brief to just the assembled prep school students (those involved are students at the USAF Academy Preparatory School, not the Academy proper) it would have had the same moral effect as well as filling in the square.

#7 In fairness...

Respectfully Mike, it was a group flogging. What shall he say if it is discovered to be a hoax. He will quite likely say absolutely nothing.
