Three words about an institution that has been hazing freshmen males for over a hundred years and is applauded by most of the country for its doing so: Carolina Military Institute(a.k.a. "The Citadel"). VMI, West Point, and the Naval and Air Force Acadamies do it too, but to a slightly less publicized extent. They've been known to physically abuse, torture, and even kill freshmen. And yet Americans approve of it in the name of making a "better military man."

Hmm... Seems like we have a bit of a double standard going on.

Why do we hold onto such horrid practices in the name of tradition? I do not understand.
