Quote:They have been having the pillow fight for years but to the best of my knowledge they have not loaded the cases with heavy objects in the past.  What were they thinking?

It seems that the academies nowadays are only vetting for cadets that can contribute to their sports teams; and not necessarily for intelligence, or leadership potential. The military would be better off filling in their officer corps with enlisted personnel, who have proven combat and leadership experience, and not with young 21 year old's fresh out of college. Education is, and should be very important when it comes to officership, but it shouldn't be the only factor. Heck, George Washington never even went to college, and George Patton was a terrible student academically, but they made up for it with their charisma, and ability to lead others into battle.
