Agree completely.

Violators should be identified and swift, sure justice meted out.

Including the women involved; one problem that has persisted to this point
is that women involved in breaches of the rules have not been punished- all
they need to do to avoid punishment is to make an allegation of sexual
assault, and their prosecution grinds to a halt.

What, you think they don't figure this out in oh say the first 10 days of
training?

Some (no numbers on how many) of the most recent cases of "Sexual Assault"
invove some very "interesting" circumstances; many where the allegation came
out only after an investigation of a femal cadet's misbehavior was about to
result in punishment.

I think where the previous regime really screwed the pooch was int hat they
were being thorough, impartial and objective in their investigations.

Obviously, that didn't "strike the right tone" for some folks.

Can we solve the problem by using a "shoot first, ask quesitons later"
approach combined with "the male will always be guilty" approach? You bet
your ass that will work. Probably faster and more efficiently than any
"fair" approach. What's best for the academy as an institution at this
point in time might be a raw deal for any male who strays one iota from
conduct rules for the next few years.

So be it. Let's go burn us some "witches."

Horrors! College kids actually drinking and pairing off with the
opposite sex? What is this world coming to?

As far as I'm concerned, the AF Academy has failed it's mission, and
the
tax dollars should be shifted to the Army and Naval Academies. There
is
no reason for it's further existence.

Bull****. Do you really think that there is no drinking and
whoring
going on at the Army and Navy Academies?

That may be, but one might reasonably wonder why any of them thought they
were
ordinary college boys and able to do the boozing and whoring that ordinary
college boys do. In any case, whatever the academy, they need to be shown
the
door on the basis of their display of conduct unbecoming of an officer,
etc.,
which I think is part of Art. 134 of the UCMJ. They're supposed to be
different
from and better than the ordinary and, if they aren't, they never will be
missed.
