Srednik grieves for his counterparts from that gray place on the Hudson. Right now we see authorities acting the part of autoimmune harpies tearing down our foundations like duty, honor, country, Bible, one-citizen-one-vote.

Psalm 11:3 says, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”

Pray to Almighty God for a religious revival like that under Ezra coupled with the political revival under Nehemiah.

Maybe my duty honor country sweatshirt from BadTolz will be museum worthy for the next generation.

I used to think that ring knockers were just obnoxious assholes. Come to find out they are just communists.

Who was this guys bunk mate, room mate, squad/platoon leader? They should have given this guy an Italian bowtie in his sleep. I woulda helped hold him down!

It might be difficult to convince those focused on Duty, Honor, Country to fire on their own citizens.

IIRC, this subsequent a-hole officer got a dishonorable discharge.

Liberals have no honor, they do not believe in duty and they hate this country.

And we do absolutely nothing to stop it.

What would you suggest? They control everything.

Everything.

That guy got kicked out not too long after reaching his first duty station.

“Less than a year after Rapone’s images drew a firestorm of vitriol and even death threats, the second lieutenant who became known as the “commie cadet” is officially out of the U.S. Army with an other-than-honorable discharge.”

It’s just sad that he got kicked out before his platoon could frag him.

Why would someone go to all that trouble to write the article if it was fake. The article references two publications and refers to a first person account of a Board of Visitors meeting and your conclusion is, if it’s true? Really?

Do you need affidavits or do you prefer video or would an oath suffice by the author? You can always google...it takes 10 seconds for you to confirm, but would you believe those websites.

As you can see, an unidentified “Army Senior Leader” has approved the change


It takes just one pervert to change things.

It takes just one warrior to change it back.

I said I did not know if it was true re West Point to drop the words Duty Honor Country from mission statement.

Perhaps I should have said “I can’t believe it is true,” or “I hope this is not true.”

Reading about the decision did surprise me; I thought it might have been just a rumor or something written by the Bee.

Since, I have seen a couple of other stories confirming the accuracy of the first. This is a new, lower level of depravity.

Duty, Honor, Country continues to be West Point's motto. That has not changed.

The mission statement changes somewhat frequently. The motto was added to the Mission Statement for the first time in 1998 and retained when it was revised again in 2005. The new Mission Statement reads:

“To Build, Educate, Train, and Inspire the Corps of Cadets to be Commissioned Leaders of Character committed to the Army Values and ready for a Lifetime of Service to the Army and Nation.”

It's very similar to previous Mission Statements. Here's some examples since 1925.
