West Point Revokes Diplomas Of Confederate Graduates

WEST POINT, N.Y. ─ Following the decision of the South Carolina government to remove the Confederate flag from a state memorial, and the subsequent, nation-wide uproar over all things Confederate, West Point has announced that it will posthumously revoke the diplomas of all cadets who graduated from the Academy and fought for the South during the Civil War.

Tiger, you do know that duffelblog is a satire site right? (Probably my #2 favorite satire site next to People's Cube) Probably best if you put a satire label on the post.

In our current environment it would be easy to believe. If I was of a nature as to be easily offended I would take umbrage at someone thinking I was stupid enough to think this was real. But on the other hand I appreciate someone looking out for me.

I'd be more concerned about thinking that there is one person here who would fit into your pigeon hole. Maybe I really should have labeled it as satire. I just thought that as I have yet to ever post any story without properly vetting it that rational persons would know I am not that gullible. But I guess that some here jump to any conclusion which will validate their own biases.

I think it is significant that spokesmen for all the armed forces put out a statement condemning white supremacy. According to the story, our military is 40% minority. Amazing.

The first part is the truth. Your posting history bears that out. The second part was said somewhat in jest.

You are like the Teflon Defconn because even as there is a thread telling everyone to cool it, you somehow continue unscathed.

Most people who were inclined to believe it would understand the Thomas Jackson joke.
