ok lets all just settle down…many people on here are cadets, are related to cadets, used to be cadets, so i’m not sure how we missed this, but cadets have quite a bit of free time. With this time, they rapell out of windows to turn papers in, they throw water baloons off of roofs and they do all sorts of other stupid/funny/generally entertaining things. They also spend an inordinate amount of time online and on email, thus when one person somehow got this press release, they probably found it entertaining and emailed it to a few buddys or a team, and those people did the same, and so on and now everyone knows about good ol milty the third. Generally, cadets dont go out saying, “lets go find some kids coming in next year who said something dumb in a paper”, cus I’m sure there are plenty of other press releases in which people said stuff just like milton.

As far as those who say that this article is going to dictate how well milty will do at the academy, please stop. I’ve got a really tough time believing that his answers to a few questions from a reporter are going to have any bearing on his sucess or lack therof as a cadet and hopefully officer. He will act the way he will act and he will probably make it through beast because truthfully, its not very hard to do, and once the third day rolls around, the cadre will have plenty of reasons to yell at everyone else too.
Sorry for the long post, i generally dont comment, i just feel its necessary to stop the madness sometimes.

also, triggs, cmon man, do you really think that this kid, who is supposedly bright enough to get into west point would be stupid enough to make a profile on a website blatantly full of cadets and talk crap?
