This story kind of goes along the same line of thinking of Football Nation America and how we are so summarily screwed as a nation, culture, economy, and people.
West Point has had a pillow fight tradition (dating back to the very late 1800's!!!) for it's first-years to let off some steam after a month of summer training that is quite intense.
No foul there.
But a number of the cadets decided to go all prison- and jail-style about it, stuffing their pillows for the fight with their helmets! About 30 injuries have been reported, and at least one cadet has left the school as a result, though the Army says otherwise.
ARE YOU MOTHERFUCKING KIDDING ME?
Look, that's the kind of shit we did on Riker's Island. It's one of the reasons your socks would get checked every once in a while to ensure you didn't stuff something like a full soda can, batteries, or God knows what else in there to hurt a fellow inmate!
If this is the kind of mentality that people in the Army have, we are so, so, so fucked.
