I wonder what is worse, football players praying on the field, or cadets text messaging while in formation and marching, or abusing the uniform?

Let me guess how Mikey would respond, football players praying on the field!
Am I right?

Hello (name withheld) been a while since we’ve touched base, I’m glad to see that you have not lost your sense of humor.

To wit, the video of the cadet really “has America OUTRAGED”?  Really?? OUTRAGED??!!  You’ve got to be kidding me.

Should she have on her phone while in formation? No. But as someone who personally spent hours upon hours marching in formation at a service academy, I can tell you that sometimes we would do things that we shouldn’t have been doing.  And who knows, maybe she was sending a quick note to someone who was trying to reach her, saying that she would call asap – we really don’t know all of the circumstances.
What we DO know is that the incident is FAR from “outrageous”. To even suggest such a thing is, in a word, dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
But you are right about one thing, though — a GREAT example of something that truly is outrageous, and which should concern all Americans, is the abuse of the Constitution.
Peace,
Mike Challman
