WEST POINT - U.S. Military Academy officials say they will ban cadet pillow fights like the bloody one that left 30 injured this summer and are pursuing action against many of those involved.

First-year students, known as "plebes," organize the annual pillow fight as a way to build camaraderie after a grueling summer of training. But the pillow fight on Aug. 20 led to multiple injuries, including a broken nose and 24 diagnosed concussions.

The fact there is an organized pillow fight in the army, lets me further know I am not upset about joining another branch.

Next thing you know they'll be taking away "hide the pickle Tuesday".

Thanks, Obama.
