So, lets see how the tolerant educated left sees this.. Think before replying. Think who these women can potentially be and what it means to be an Army Officer....and your rights and responsibilities as one.

I see you have no answer, and your deflection failed.

I would expect that kind of behavior in Ferguson, not from people in one of our premier military academies. The screening process into the academies is severely lacking. Leftist Radicals really dont belong in the Military or our government, but apparently they are now running the show

Do I need to spell it out? OK, since I'm bored: Which radical group are you talking about, and how did you arrive at that conclusion?

I read an article says that Students agree that West Point is extremely diverse. Even though West Point only has a student body of approximately 4,000 cadets, students come from across the United States. There is also a large international population. At West Point, you will meet students with all sorts of backgrounds.

Personally, and I might be wrong about this, I don't think military academy should be so diverse like this. With a large international population? I see no benefits.

She wants to be an army officer? First of all, military service should be morally and politically Neutral.

Apolitical person makes the best soldier, Marine, airman, sailor, officer, general. In my most humble opinion.

In other words, Black women should not be in a military academy, right?

'Running the show.' WOW, you got a whole lot more out of that article than I did! What's your secret? Edgar, Edgar Cayce, is that you???

agreed with the bolded. i don't think this has anything to do with "black" students. It has a lot to do with extreme political views.

Why should people with such radical political views be allowed to attend military academy. They should be in congress lol Military academy is not for students to make political statement. Don't treat military academy as U.C. Berkeley.

They are making a political statement. Violation of the Hatch Act.

I agree. I wouldn't consider it acceptable for white plebes to wear KKK hats while posing for pictures, nor this. Expulsion is appropriate. The military academies are pretty serious about their honor codes.
