... the apparently antiquated notion that commissioned officers in our military are supposed to be "officers and gentlemen"?

It looks more and more like the Air Force Academy has become a haven for serial rapists and perverts. My father (WW2 AF officer and life-long member of MOWW) must be rolling over in his grave.
 
I have no idea what is going on with the AF Academy. Porn rings, a legacy of rape and coverup, drugs, cheating scandals...these are supposed to be the best and the brightest?

Is it just that I live too close to the place? I don't recall hearing anything like this regarding West Point or Annapolis, although I do seem to recall hearing something a few years back about cheating and possibly some Ecstacy use at Annapolis but NOTHING on the scale like this. It's becoming apparent that the Air Force can't police themselves, no wonder they locked away their weapons for safety when I had the 'pleasure' of living nearby during Desert Storm :confused:
