#1 While I'm sure the AFA takes every incident seriously, the author makes much ado about what is essentially statistical noise relative to the total student body.

#2 Well, it's the Guardian, ya know. "Alcohol Abuse Up at State U" doesn't have the same ring to it.

#3 As a proud alumnus of the University of Illinois, I don't know how alcohol use could possible go up since I was there.

#4 ...The present USAFA Superintendent, LGEn John Rosa, was my wing commander at Shaw AFB SC not long before I retired - he has been leaving a very long trail of idiotarian bodies who thought that they were immune from discipline out there at the Academy. I guarantee those involved and responsible have paid a pretty heavy price. This wasn't some misunderstanding of an obscure rule, but rather an intentional violation of USAF policy that's been in place and very clear for more than a decade.

#5 Alcohol offenses went up 54%, largely based on one incident involving 15 cadets? Sounds like they don't have much of a problem.
