Agree.
Direct. Unambiguous. That's how it's done.

I suppose it would have been foolish to ask the cowards to come forward.

FWIW I heard the General say that based on the handwriting they believe it to be one coward.

He did ask the perpetrator(s) to just leave, as there is no room for that sort of thing in this organization.
Not the same as asking them to step up, but a coward would refuse to step up and take responsibility anyway. Why bother.

The Air Force Academy is one of the finest universities in the world and one of the hardest to get into. Even with such high standards there is always the opportunity for a fool to present themselves. Amazing.

The racial slur incident happened at the prep school, but I believe the General is
speaking to the academy students and staff of 4000 plus in the room. |

Great speech, but at this time my hunch is that it's a hoax.

There's no datapoints that would suggest a hoax. Never underestimate the ignorance that people are handicapped with.

No datapoints? WTH does that mean? I suggested no datapoints - merely that I had a hunch.
And while I'm happy that the speech was well received, it would have been appropriate 60 years ago. Today it borders on insulting to the AF corp today - beginning in the second half of the 20th Century the military has had a stellar record of incorporating and respecting all races. Much more likely it was a speech he had to give.
