ADAM DERITO PODCAST

The United States Air Force Academy has been plagued with scandal after scandal over the years, and yet nothing changes. Join the Dark Sabre Team as they investigate these scandals and hear testimonials from USAFA Staff members, current Cadets, and prior Cadets. Learn about the cover ups, destruction of evidence, falsification of medical records, and the Academy’s corrupt leadership.

For over the last decade, Adam DeRito has not only been fighting for justice in his case, but dozens of other Cadets and Midshipmen from all the Federal Service Academies. It is time to return our Federal Service Academies to what they were intended to be: to produce the best military officers in the world, and not focus on Division 1 Sports.
