I do not care if he is drinking or not. *A person sent to compete and

fly his best, rest and prepare to win the next day.
There really should not be much time for a party at this level of
competition. *Hopefully we choose the best pilots to represent and
have the best chance for a USA win.
When I hear that any of the pilots are out past 2200 I wonder did we
send them to fly *or party? *Should we say " oh they are just kids.
Let them have a good time? *I say not. *Not on My Dime.

I do not buy this crap about being ok because he is a nice guy and has
friends and supporters. *We need to have standards.

Maybe I am just way to "Old Fashion".

I wonder if I am alone or will get a second from any others who expect
more from our youth.

Rex,

I agree with you completely.
Anyone who has contributed to the US and other nation,s teams should
be mad as hell.
I never condoned Devin action (witch none of us know the exact
details)
What I objected to, was the mean-spirited original post.
It appears that many competitors (including the US team captain) were
out partying most night. Again, that is hearsay.
