West Point grads’ letter to class of 2020 calls out one of its most powerful alumni: Esper

On the eve of their graduation from the United States Military Academy, a group of hundreds of West Point graduates published a letter Thursday rebuking the politicization of the military.

The letter comes two days before President Trump is scheduled to give an address during a commencement and commissioning ceremony on campus, for which 1,000 cadets have been recalled from sheltering-in-place at home during the coronavirus pandemic.

“By accepting your commission, you incur a moral purpose and obligation to provide for the common defense. In doing so you enable the nation to fulfill the full range of its aspirations,” the concerned alumni wrote in the letter, published by Medium. “Today, our Constitutional aspirations remain unfulfilled.”

I don't understand the article.  The headline suggests the Alumni letter "calls out Esper," but in fact it "Calls out Esper as a great man" for speaking out publicly against the CiC.  This story also repeats the lie about tear gas in Lafayette Park.

Yes, who ever wrote the article misrepresented the letter.... found here.
It was a letter from the "alumni" to the grads and is nothing more than a backhanded slap on Trump.
"Sadly, the government has threatened to use the Army in which you serve as a weapon against fellow Americans engaging in these legitimate protests." Not true, riots are not legitimate protests.
