No. And they’re NOT liberals. They’re leftists.
This has been the leftist goal for a long time.
“A new superintendent is needed IMMEDIATELY. Come in, take names, kick ass, and clean house. Sylvanus Thayer did it.”
Unlikely to come from the superintendent who wrote this letter: https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3594409/posts
The letter was in response to the retired LTC referred to in the article in the OP.
Are you by any chance a leftist troll trying to make FR look bad by your inane comments? You seem that way to me based upon a number of your posts.
I knew West Point was going down because I once dated a West Point Cadet and I know what was expected in the old days of young men who expected to survive there. He was one of the finest, in or out of West Point and when he finished, he had a wonderful education. He became all a man could be at that institution. Now, this article tells us all we need to know. Looks like West Point is no better than Berkeley and is being used to subvert the values and the very survival of the US. This has happened because of political correctness which is communism 101+++. As I read this article, I thank God that Donald Trump was elected, because he is probably one of the few men in America, who would even dare to come against the vile, psychotic, narcissist, violent left in this country who have wormed their way into all of our major institutions, including the main line churches. It would seem that way too many have joined the “swamp” as we are now witnessing in the Weinstein scandal. All of this is wrapped up in the distortion of men, and women, in the human trafficking, fake news, the lust for sex and power and the hatred for true Christians, who are just about the only creatures left on the earth who realize where all of this is taking us. This article is great because it brings the problem from the darkness to the light of exposure. The cleansing and the clean-up needs to begin and it will, if enough people gag when they think of what is allowed to go on in plain sight with little or no opposition. May God bless and keep Donald J. Trump and may God himself go to war against the enemies of our President and this nation. May all of those who have worked to substitute evil for good be identified and put out of power. To you families who have a young person eyeing West Point. Do not go there until this mess is cleaned up. Do not subject your child to this monstrous situation. This post is too long, I know. But, at least, I feel better now. Have a good day everyone and remember that God is real and, eventually, every human being will leave this place and face judgment of how he/she used the gift of life.
I disagree... when it comes time the lefties will be slaughtered, even if in service at the time.
Anyone going to West Point should go in their first semester as mere privates under Drill sergeants and taught how to survive the battlefield and be alert in a basic training setting.
I have a feeling these scumbags now have this elitist entitlement mentality and no respect what so ever like a diva for a manual laborer
Until recently, I never entertained the thought that our military could participate in a Leftist coup d’é·tat.
All the pieces are almost there. Scotus is one judge away from completely warping the law into a pure social justice system. Most rats would embrace another Obama, only give the next Obama the entirety of lawmaking without pretense to constitutional obedience. Congressional pubbies would cower in the corner and go along with the new boss. Imagine what a newly unleashed administrative state would do to class enemies.
And what has Trump done to clean up this mess? The tiny step he took tweeting about cross dressers would serve “in no capacity” was quickly countermanded by Mattis. No reaction at all from Trump. This failure to clean up the military is the insurmountable disappointment I have with Trump. Either he fixes the military or he is a failure in my mind.
I retired in 94. The dismantling of the Army was just beginning after Desert Storm. This Army is not our Army, we would not last 5 minutes. And apparently West Point is just as rancid as any other Ivy League school, rotten to the core.
Is it too late to clean it up? If it is then just shut it down.
How soon? That's the question. Until some change really appears to be happening, he's sleeping on it.
And it is of the utmost URGENCY!!!

Luckily the military is ‘top down’ - chain of command - authoritarian... The military function within a democratic country but they're NOT a democratic organization. No 'elections' in the military. And President Trump's the Commander in Chief... Making changes won't be that difficult...
Not too late but it would take a determined Secretary of the Army who had the 100% backing of the Sec of Defense and President to get it done. I see none of that, especially Mattis.
Ah yes, Dr. Zhivago...Great movie.
How about we go back to rule of law? I know the democrats can’t stand that we’re a nation of laws, and their hero the Kenyan tried to give it a death blow, but face it. They’re still failing.
As West Point goes, so goes our military.
Thay cannot. We desperately need an Agusto Pinochet.
