<p>From article referenced in post #66:
“Cadet John Bethmann said in an e-mail that the cadets were acting in self-defense. “When they started running around OUR parade deck and on the stairs of OUR church, they pushed the envelope too far,” he said.”</p>
<p>In other words “We reserve the right to interpret the actions of others, and respond in whatever manner we feel is appropriate.” </p>
<p>The only thing missing here is “Da*ned shame we weren’t armed, so we could really defend ourselves.” </p>
<p>Funny, I don’t recall any of this attitude in the many military officers I served with.</p>
