West Point cadet tried to crowdfund money to bring porn star Diamond Foxxx to the academy's winter banquet.
On Tuesday, the military news website Task & Purpose reported that a cadet at the United States Military Academy West Point tried to bring a porn star to the academy’s Yearling Winter Weekend banquet — and launched a campaign on the crowdfunding website GoFundMe to raise $1,200 for airfare and lodging for his supposed date.
“Diamond Foxxx agreed to go to Y dubs with me if I can pay for her plane ticket and hotel room,” [!] posted the unidentified cadet, who went by the username “Mr. Krabs.” “Problem is I’m on the yuk payroll and I have no money. Please help a young boy’s dream come true.”
According to Task & Purpose, the crowdfunding campaign raised a number of potential ethics concerns, including that members of the U.S. military are not permitted to use their official positions to solicit money.
The page had raised $370 before the cadet locked it down, telling donors, “Some cadets and officers were discomforted by the effort to bring Diamond Foxxx to YWW, so I was advised with those with much higher rank than me to discontinue the campaign and inform the actress I can no longer bring her.”
The cadet has requested to remain anonymous so as to avoid prospective employers from seeing his name on a Google search with the words “West Point” and “porn star.”

This young cadet was obviously impressed by her bazookas.

Not a very good career move. Even if you really are that guy who got pressured into the academy by your family and you want to flame out then aim higher kid.

Proving that the old joke that "Military Intelligence is an oxymoron" still works.
But hey, Cadet. Thank you for your service.
