Virginia Military Inst. costumes: Nazis, KKK & the starving poor. Hahaha!

[Bluebear]

USA! USA!...I'm so proud!



For the 2004 Virginia Military Institute Halloween party, cadets dressed as Nazis, fairies, KKK, the starving poor and guys with bullseyes on their asses.

Photos posted on a public message board show VMI cadets dressed for their 2004 Halloween party as Nazis, fairies, a starving Ethiopian, the KKK and a man with a bullseye on his ass.

Similar pictures in the U.K. have recently caused an uproar. Will these in America? It's doubtful, but one should no less condemn VMI's ability to laugh at the deaths of millions, make light of famine and race and mock homosexuality. These are, after all, the men who are supposed to one day graduate to their own posts at Gitmos and Abu Ghraibs around the world.

To contact VMI with your thoughts, Contact Col. Susan H. Barr, VMI Chief Information officer. She has supervion over "training and investigations," which administers "civility" policies:
