And who brought those visionaries to the Cadets? I never claimed or intended to say he did it alone but he was the leader and 1 constant throughout those years and to see people kick dirt on his entire history just irks me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything he was an obstacle to more championships. We will just agree to disagree. I imagine his victims would also disagree with your take. A lot of emotional abuse was inflicted as well. The folks stepping forward are just the most extreme examples: so with that - let’s celebrate the 2019 Cadets who are busy learning drill today 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't slam someone ( anyone ) for the failures and in the next breath not give credit for the successes. Can't have it both ways. Now back to the most important thing, TODAY and the Future Cadets. FHNSAB Edited May 19, 2019 by GUARDLING 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you can send some of it over to Madison's thread. They are taking a beating! Give it time ...

Not excusing what he did, that is reprehensible, and he deserves everything that is coming to him. But the hate seems a bit much IMHO. There are many people who committed these types of crimes who have made great contributions to society. That doesn't give them a pass to do what they want to people. He deserves everything that's coming to him for doing what he did. I don't care how many championships Cadets have. Someone's life and well being are more important to me than the contributions that he has made to Cadets. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of that group was hired prior to him becoming director including Zingali and Prime. Others were suggested and recruited by staff members other than GH Edited May 19, 2019 by George Dixon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
