They replaced it with Diversity, Equity, Inclusion...
Duty and honour and country says everything.
“it was not included in the mission statement until 1998”
So we managed to win a few wars without it.
That’s in the same category as renaming Army bases. Erase tradition.
The rewording in the missions statement...just preference of some of the big boys...Should it have been changed...Of course not...but not a detriment...just an insult to others who wet before.
According to a good friend, conservative, and West Point graduate, this is much to do about nothing. According to my friend, there is a big difference between a motto and mission statement. “Duty,” “Honor,” and “Country” has been West Point’s motto since the MacArthur speech. It was not incorporated into the mission statement until the late 1990s. Although it has been removed from the mission statement, it remains in its historical place as part of the motto.
Why? Because the Sodomites in charge have no honor.
It was removed to accommodate women, non whites, illegals, and assorted flavors of sexual deviance.
Globohomo is the new mission.
Because they are traitors
WGAF. West Point hasn’t been a reputable institution in years.
Because all of our base are belong to the COMMUNISTs.
commie cadet hat: communism will win
where is commie cadet today?
Because they disagree with it. They do not believe in duty, they admit sodomites and communists, and the are ardent advocates of globalism.
I think the motive is to get rid of “Country”, because the Left detests patriotic allegiance to the American national identity. Destroying faith in our Country, its history, its heroes, and national myths is part of the Left’s agenda for global government. Manipulating language and slogans is a favored post-modernist tool.
Unfortunately, soldiers need to feel that they are fighting for hearth and home (their country) and each other, not some abstract notion. “Let’s die for the Fourth Internationale” is weak sauce.
Ironically, the headline has already substituted “Courage”, for “Country”. I assume this was just a typo.
To be replaced with, “Can’t touch this”
They did it to undermine the USA. They use the ugly racist DEI to move this narrative forward.
IMHO, everyone who does this should face indictments for treason in the most literal sense, then the ultimate penalty.
