I would say to not pass judgment now, but to demand that they define ‘army values”.

In response to your "demand": the definition is reviewable on a "regular" basis and is subject to occasional "modernization".

The goal, "...leaders...committed to the Army Values and...a lifetime of service to the Army and Nation." leads the way to an oath that provides that service is due specifically to the Commander-in-Chief of that Army who is also the president of the Nation. See, for instance, the oath to the 1930's German Commander-in Chief and Chancellor.

Unfortunately, a simple phone call from someone in the CiC's office at the WH suffices to alter long-standing values and traditions. One wonders if Gen Miley had a hand in this modernization.

We read the history books and wonder how Germany's officer corps was so compliant in swearing the oath exclusively to Hitler, who was essentially a sawed-off, semi-hysterical punk. We may be on the verge of setting our own example.

I assume that Trump will have the NEW Army secretary and NEW Defense secretary tell West Point to get rid of DEI and racial quotas and and bring back Duty, Honor, Country.
