Well, I guess this is where we see if the higher ups in the services have a pair, or if a bunch of kids lose their careers before they even start them:

"Ha! Made you look!" *punches Internet in the arm* :facepalm:

Mass hysteria and the madness of the crowds.
Since when is racial and ethnic pride a bad thing anyway?
Still, it seems like a dumb move even if that wasn't their intent.
Anything that can be twisted into racism will be twisted in this current climate.
Even pride in your heritage.
White man bad.

I have to say that this is one where I, personally, have drawn my line in the sand.
I don't care about "perception" of whatever group. "Okay" means OKAY. Use the okay sign all you want. Tell the snowflakes to FRO.

The hysteria amongst those on the ideological left is the reason the meme around OK exists.
It's meant to trigger them and boy does it work well :laugh:
In a sane world the adults would request that going forward the young men not purposely troll the weak and simple minded.

What a sad, pathetic, meaningless existence you offer to us.

Well, it appears someone(s) was sensible in that the cadets weren't kicked out, but they will apparently be disciplined for being immature. I guess the goofing around punishment is probably par for any course at the academies. At least the snowflake uproar didn't destroy their careers.

Obviously the investigation was just a cover-up by the patriarchy ;/ (that was so stupid it was hard to type even in jest)

Is there a real white power sign? that insert must have been missing from my white privileged manual.

Closest thing is probably the Roman salute.

I think the Aryan gang (Aryan Nation?) has a sign. Or is it numbers?

Never heard of that being associated with "white power". Italian power?
I was thinking the Nazi salute. If they would stop trying to take free speech rights away from folks they don't like, there would at least be a few of them over in the corner to point to.

I'm pretty sure the Roman salute and the Nazi salute are the same thing; the Romans had it first so that's what I called it :)

People call it the Roman Salute but IIRC there's no real evidence they actually used it. And also IIRC many think it actually originated from a French painting where Romans were portrayed using it. Much the same thing happened with Viking horned helmets where the portrayal is thought to have originated in opera.
And BTW the Nazi copied the Italian Fascists in using the "Roman" salute.

I thought the Romans did a fist in the chest thing, but maybe I got that from movies.

Again going on memory here I think that part is true.
