每個人都喜歡枕頭大戰，就連美國軍事學院（USMA）學員也不例外。
經過七個星期的嚴厲暑期培訓後，西點軍校（West Point）一年級生，按傳統集合在戰場
…呃，其實是籃球場上，一臉認真地，開始互丟枕頭，以紓解壓力。
這個一年一度的傳統團體活動，由1897年就已經開始了。
雖然有規則要求學員們要帶安全裝備，但學員們為了令枕頭殺傷力變大，竟把硬物塞到枕
頭內。
結果今年夏天枕頭戰後，有24人受傷，多人骨折，部份學員昏迷。
雖然一直以來，西點軍校並未正式認可這項活動，但現在已正式被禁止了。
看來學員們以後得找其他辦法紓壓了。
英文原文：
Everybody loves a good pillow fight, and for these cadets, it’s no exception.
After a gruelling, seven-week summer training session, first year West Point
students, known as ‘plebes’, traditionally gather on the battlefield, or
rather, their basketball court.
With determined looks on their faces and bright eyes, the plebes then throw a
few pillows around at their comrades so they can blow off some steam.
This annual bonding tradition at the military academy dates back to at least
1897.
Although the cadets have been required to wear body armor and helmets, cadets
have been discovered stuffing headgear and other hard objects into
pillowcases to weaponize their pillows.
Well, that left the pillow fight this summer resulting in 24 concussions,
many broken bones and unconscious cadets.
Although the tradition was never really sanctioned by West Point to begin
with, it has now been officially banned.
Guess these cadets will just have to find another way to bond and let off
steam from now on.
