Two senior cadets, among 1,000 seniors isolated at the Air Force Academy, died by suicide within days

Unlike the Army and Navy, the Air Force has kept cadets on campus since the coronavirus began upending military and civilian life this month.

There is a massive human cost in terms of suicide, drug overdoses, heart attacks, alcohol abuse and domestic violence that is being ignored by our worthless Media. All they want to talk about now is the "Mystery disease" that is giving dozens of kids all over the world a nasty rash, and it's COVID RELATED.

Democrats wanted despair. Now they have it.

It's a tragedy typically ignored by the media. On the other hand the isolation was minor and the cadets would have been treated to all the perks they would have had otherwise. You have to wonder how the current crop of A.F. cadets would have endured the torture and isolation that Air Force Vietnam pilots were subjected to for years.
