I don't really know what we're arguing about here. The "OK" symbol is decades old and had no racial connotations. It still has no racial connations for the vast majority of the population. But several years ago racists started using it to flash "white power" in public and because it has an accepted non-racist meaning in the population at large that gives them plausible deniability when called on it.
The Navy and Army cadets may have been playing the circle game but the only way an investigation would have found out otherwise is if one of them was stupid enough to admit to it. It was in both cadets and the academies interest for that to be the outcome of the investigation.
I get the sense that the last couple of pages have consisted of conservatives trolling board liberals about this dumb white power symbol crap to deflect attention from other GOP shittiness. What else are they going to do - defend Trump and impeachment, or argue against the Christianity Today editorials, or pretend that their own party isn't an ethical and moral and simple human decency dumpster fire?
