Puts a bad half against Navy or the loss of a prized recruit in perspective.

Have they shared the hazing incident that allegedly led to the shooting?

very little has leaked on that from 'official' sources but more and more its beginning to look like that was the primary cause of what happened.

Just amazes me in this day and age that hazing is still winked and nodded at by all too many supposed intelligent people.

Fun/ritual hazing is great. Like making a guy wear a stupid outfit or other sophomoric stuff. But the violent or degrading stuff never sat with me. And I experienced right of passage hazing both at my high school and as a plebe. It can have a place but it has to stay in it's lane.

rituals and such are very different from Hazing.
Hazing is brutal and angry and should never be tolerated by anyone.
