BS. If you are a cadet at the AFA and you know of someone who raped a girl, did cocaine or committed theft, then you have an obligation/duty to turn that person in. It is a whole different story to take a cadet, who is there to learn, and have them do OSI's job. OSI if fully capable of inserting young agents into the AFA to root out this kind of behavior and should not need to coerce cadets in distress into going "undercover." What happens to the "undercover" cadet who gets outed? What is his/her life going to be like for the rest of their time at the Academy and then onto active duty? If I were the parent of a cadet and found out OSI put wires on them and sent them into dangerous/harmful situations I would be incensed. They are supposed to be teaching cadets to be leaders and honorable. This is not the way.
