Onion: Six Dead in West Point Panty Raid

"A bunch of us were goofing around after lights-out, and we started daring each other to sneak into Bartlett Hall and steal some of the girls' underwear," Phillips said. "I guess, as a result of our training, we just can't help but think strategically. Before we knew it, the whole panty raid had somehow turned into a meticulously planned 16-man undergarment-acquisition mission and reconnaissance force."

...The incident marks the academy's worst horseplay-related incident since the homecoming float competition before the 2002 Army-Navy game. Three gaily decorated and heavily armed parade floats were destroyed in the pep rally, and the academy's famous library was badly damaged by incendiary shells in the confrontation, which claimed the lives of seven West Point cadets, 14 Naval Academy midshipmen, and the Navy goat.

2. Movies played out on campus

Too much campus partying and tricks end up in dangerous situations. It isn't innocent playing or mischief.

Shouldn't someone talk about reality and Hollywood to new campus arrivals? College isn't "Animal House" or any other movie with drunk, mixed up college kids.

They will be held accountable, etc. GROW UP..YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS AND FUTURE.

Very sad for those families of those killed..involved. Futures will be ruined.
