USAFA Cadet: “I Came Here To Be Mentally And Physically Challenged, Not Be Constantly Told “I’m The Victim”
By AFP Staff
April 10, 2024
 

Recent post on Service Academy Forum by a USAFA Cadet:

“Disclaimer: This might not represent the views of the Cadet Wing at a whole, but I know many people who agree with my view.

As a current Doolie, the academy is nowhere near what I signed up for. The changes they’ve made to the academy in the past 8 months, how badly they’ve destroyed our Rec experience, it just makes me wonder why I even chose this over the other two academies. I came here to be mentally and physically challenged, not be constantly told “I’m the victim”, and that I’m being “hazed” because god forbid someone yell at me in a military environment.

In basic we learned a quote from John Stuart Mill, it’s ironic how we’re required to learn the quote only for the academy to show exactly what he was warning about. For your reference, the quote is below:

I don’t owe tolerance to people who disagree with my existence.
I will NOT comply.

I guess now it's a pit of depression...
