In their defense, they're just ignorant freshman. I know I didn't know the first thing about Bonfire or the Stack Collapse until the first week of FOW. Once they learn what it means, I have no doubt they'll understand how disrespectful taking those kinds of pictures was. Ignorance is no excuses, but definitive respect lays within the mind of the acting party.

This is kind of ridiculous no matter which way we cut it. Memorials mean a great deal to me, regardless of what they stand for, because I've lost people to wars and tragedies. Using Bonfire Memorial as a backdrop for humor is disrespectful to the losses that the memorial represents. There are so many different places across campus that can be used as an appropriate, respectful place to take pictures. That being said, I know one of the people pictured. We spent a great deal of time together over the past semester. He's a really stand-up redass guy. Like it's been iterated so many times already, there was probably NO thought behind the placement of these pictures. That being said, we need to back the **** off just a little bit. Yes, my classmates made a mistake. But the hate I see on this forum is not Aggies being true to each other as Aggies can be. This is Ol' Army getting miffed that a handful of New Army folks screwed up and not being understanding of the situation. Also, the explicit sexual commentary about the girls in the photos are not at all appropriate. One of the core values of Texas A&M is respect. Yeah, these students disrespected the Bonfire Memorial BUT we don't live an eye-for-an-eye culture anymore. Show some decency, folks.

I'm sure this was obviously not meant to offend anybody but I do agree this was bad taste.
I'm sure they're great Aggies but maybe don't have the same appreciation for the word "memorial" as others.
No real harm or foul just not a great idea.
