And if anyone doesn't know who is standing beside him, then look up General Kristin Goodwin.........another true inspiring leader

1. An amazing speech.

It is uplifting to hear a true leader speak with such passion.

2. Lt. Gen. Silveria deserves much credit for this speech.

He was direct, firm, principled.

3. I applaud his passion, but I don't think it will change anything.

Severe repercussion to those who show less than a full commitment AND UNDERSTANDING to diversity should be shown the door.

What is diversity? It is understanding the social wrongs that are affecting minorities when they decide to take a knee during the national anthem.

6. One raindrop doesn't destroy a dam

But you put a couple billion of those suckers together and molly bar the door.

No one anything is going to change anything but each of us doing a small thing, ahh that's where the power is.

4. Lt. General Silveria could take it that one extra step...

... and invoke the Honor Code... requiring the guilty students to step up and take responsibility.

The Honor Code is there for a reason and he should make use of it...

9. This turned out to be a hoax

This week, the academy confirmed to news outlets that the person responsible for the racist messages was one of the cadet candidates who allegedly had been victimized.

"We can confirm that one of the cadet candidates who was allegedly targeted by racist remarks written outside of their dorm room was actually responsible for the act. The individual admitted responsibility and this was validated by the investigation," the academy told The Associated Press in a statement.
