And of course I am just playing DA, because I have no way of knowing if they signed anything either. Just going from my own personal life, going to college or even when I was in the Army. Certain behavior or actions would lead to expulsion or in the case of the military any number of articles against me. USMJ is huge and very strict about certain issues.

Rules are rules. I know certain people are going to be going crazy over this (like my relatives that are all brain dead from Foxnews), because they feel it is unfair.

Welcome to the real world folks!

The magic pony ride is over!

Reality called and said there would be severe consequences.
