<p>Thank you for the answers.</p>
<p>Let me try something else; really just curious as to opinions. </p>
<p>Is th is kind of cheer squad “appropriate” for a military academy? That is, part of the appeal to the public is seeing their cadets and mids looking sharp, with a military bearing, you might say “uniform.”</p>
<p>Does it take away somewhat from the Academy’s presentation by having a group of jersey-clad, shirtless, “hooligans” of the like that can be seen at any university? Especially when on TV.
I can understand a couple of “rogues” dressed up to incite the crowd [whatever the caped guy was doing? What is his significance?] but th esight of a squadron up in the stands seems disconcerting. Of course, being a big fan of “Bill the Goat”, I can sure appreciate the Falcon.</p>
<p>And, before you start, while I may tend slightly negative towards the visual of an an unruly [well, not really unruly, but . . .] group, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter to me how the Academy chooses to presnt itself. AND I don’t think it makes the cadets any less committed to service, any less bright, any less anything, blah, blah, blah.</p>
<p>Just curious as to others see it. [Especially since you see nothing of the like at Navy or Army.]</p>
