"Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria had an important message for U.S. Air Force Academy cadets at a moment of crisis.

Five black cadet candidates at the academy’s preparatory school in Colorado Springs had found racial slurs written on the message boards on their doors.

Silveria, who took over as the school’s superintendent in August, urged cadets to reach for their phones.

“I want you to videotape this so you have it, so you can use it — so that we all have the moral courage together,” he said, surrounded by 1,500 of the academy’s faculty, administrators and athletic coaches.

“If you can’t treat someone with dignity and respect, get out.”"

In spite of the disarray in national politics, we ought to be assured that our military leaders represent the best of America.

Just watched this on Facebook. I'm so glad he let all the cadets know exactly what his expectations were! I loved what he said! I hate that in 2017 this racist bs still continues.
