#3 So... You believe that being 'By The Book' is too reactionary and not appropriate for a 'future' pilot entrusted with a multi-million dollar high performance aircraft? Un-believe-able.

#7 Note:
Gould had also heard about the theft of Macon's medal. He asked Commandant of Cadets Brig. Gen. Richard Clark to assign someone the task of finding a replacement medal. The two bases' efforts were "independent, but almost simultaneous," he said.

Maj. Julian Stephens, the air officer commanding for Cadet Squadron 14 and a liaison for the Hubert L. "Hooks" Jones Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen Inc., took up the challenge. "It was the least I could do for what the Tuskegee Airmen did for me as an African American," said Stephens, a 1996 Academy graduate and native of Sandusky, Ohio. "The barriers they broke down and the things they had to deal with well overshadow anything we have to deal with today. I felt that it was my duty to help in some fashion." ...

#10 One woman's point of view: There's a reason that so many say, "I love a man in a uniform" or "There's nothing like a guy in a tux." What usually goes along with the uniform or the tux is perfect grooming. Yes baby yes!

#11 Thanks, Obama!

Raj nails it. I suspect this kind of nonsense won’t be fashionable much longer at the military academies (remember the Communist 2nd lieutenant who got in trouble for his West Point graduation day shenanigans last year?).

#12 remember the Communist 2nd lieutenant who got in trouble for his West Point graduation day shenanigans last year?

How much trouble did he really get into, besides some bad publicity? They never kicked him out and until this shit results in demotions and expulsions, we can continue to 'thank' Obama for pissing on these institutions. We should start with this boob Col. Stephens.

#13 A fair point, Raj. I searched his name in the Rantburg archives, and ditto on the web. I found nothing more recent than the Navy anti-communism posters at the Army-Navy game last December. So presumably West Point and the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, where he was posted, are either still investigating or don’t feel a need to let us know what they have done.
