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:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

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