What also is rare is a pillow fight is making the news this morning, look at these images out of west point. The prestigious military academy. The annual freshman pillow fight is supposed to be a harmless tradition. This year it turned bloody when cadets, some of them at least, put hard objects in the pillow cases. Dozens of injuries. Now, the investigation. Abcs Mara Schiavocampo is here with more. Mara, good morning. Reporter good morning, it doesnt get more harmless than a pillow fight, this particular tradition going back over a century. This year, it went too far. Now, west point officials are speaking out. And military police are looking into exactly what happened. This morning, outrage over a seemingly safe tradition turning violent at the prestigious United States military academy at west point. The annual pillow fight has helped generations of cadets unwind at the end of a grueling first summer of training. During the spirit event, cadets required to wear helmets to mitigate injuries. According to sources who spoke to the New York Times. But as seen here, many choosing not to, some cadets allegedly going as far as stuffing helmets into their pillow cases. 30 cadets suffering injuries, including 24 concussions, a broken nose, dislocated shoulder and cheekbone hairline fracture. Cadets describing the fight on twitter as a 1200man brawl. In a statement to abc news, a west point superintendent said we never condone any activity that results in intentional harm to a teammate. A military Police Investigation that began the night of the incident is ongoing. Its clear what theyre trying to do, the incoming class, pull it together as a class, that in no way justifies people being injured. Reporter so far, no cadets left the academy as a result of the incident and all of them have returned to duty. All of the injured cadets have since been treated. Now, despite this incident, no future fights have been canceled. West point officials have told the New York Times they applaud the cadets spirit, right to build spirit. Stunning description, 1200man brawl. A spiritbuilding activity. Its quite a display. Something to decompress not get your head bashed in. Not lead to more stress. Exactly. There you go. Mara, thank you. We want to turn now to the race for president. Your voice, your vote. 2016. On this holiday weekend, Hillary Clinton is firing up some words. Going after donald trump and the republican frontrunner swinging right back. Abcs devin dwyer joining us from the white house this morning. Good morning, devin. Reporter good morning, paula. Hillary clinton said this weekend is a critical point in the campaign, in her words a turn toward the finish line but to get there, she has to get past more questions about her emails. Hello. Reporter slumping in the polls, Hillary Clinton is shaking hands and snapping selfies and swinging at republicans. Their flamboyant frontrunner has grabbed a lot of attention lately. But if you look at everyone elses policies, theyre pretty much the same. Theyre trump without the pizazz or the hair. Reporter in new hampshire, clinton is getting more aggressive, challenging donald trump on his treatment of women. He says he loves women. I cherish women, i will take care of women. I would rather you stop cherishing women and start respecting women. Reporter a rallying cry to women for hillary. The democratic frontrunners new outreach effort as she tries to reboot her campaign. Republicans actually say im playing the gender card. Well, if calling for equal pay and paid leave and Womens Health is playing the gender card, deal me in. Reporter trump wasted no time to swing back at hillary on twitter. Hillary said such nasty things about me, read directly off her teleprompter. But there was no emotion, no truth, just cant read speeches. That feud between trump and clinton now more personal than ever. Both frontrunners looking to energize their supporters and hold their lead as they head into the fall. Dan . Thank you, devin. For more on this, lets bring in george stephanopoulos. Who will be hosting this week later this morning. They used to be such good friends. Thats right. She went to his wedding. Let me ask you about this, is there a strategic benefit for her to pick a fight with donald trump, given that shes trying to change the subject from this email controversy. Yeah, i think shes trying to make trump the face of the Republican Party. Tie him in more closely to the rest of the gop. It lets her go on offense. Some polls actually show donald trump beating Hillary Clinton in a headtohead matchup. Hes coming off a terrific summer. Shes had such a slump. Shes at actual alltime lows now on favorability. Shes trying to rev things up and turn things around. Shes playing the women card again. Didnt do that enough in 2008. Her team knows that was a mistake. Theyre going to push it hard this time. A big strategic pivot for her this year. Let me ask about donald trump and the potential challenge within the Republican Party for him. Politico has a really interesting article up this morning, talking about the potential impending clash between donald trump and dr. Ben carson, the other republican outsider whos surging in the poll. Do you think its coming, this clash . What a summer ben carson is having as well. Hes second to donald trump in most of the polls. He has been surging. Some polls show him tied with donald trump. Hes done it in a completely different style. Kind of quiet, soft spoken. One step at a time. I dont know if youre going to see a direct clash between the two of them. But what this does show is how much energy is with the outsiders in the Republican Party. You got donald trump, ben carson, Carly Fiorina moving up as well. They have no government experience at all. The poll is showing that two out of three Republican Voters are actually looking for someone with no government experience. Not for someone with government experience. Its interesting excitement on the left, too, for an outsider, given Bernie Sanders is a politician but hes definitely more of an outsider than Hillary Clinton. For sure, an exciting year already. George, thank you. I want to remind everyone that george has a big show this morning. Hell be grilling republican president ial candidates Mike Huckabee and the governor of ohio john kasich. Thats coming up on this week later this morning right here on abc. Thanks again, george.
