"Hazing" has been "outlawed " numerous times throughout the academy's history. The definition of "hazing" has probably changed as many times as it's been outlawed. The army doesn't need newly mineted officers from West Point treating young enlisted or ROTC trained officers in the field like they were all still at the academy---Pershing tried that during WW1 with his army that had been civilians just weeks and months before and generated a lot of resentment for it.
