Who Holds the Generals/Keepers Of West Point’s Honor Code Accountable (& Honorable)?
By John Hughes
July 10, 2023
 

West Point has a very famous Honor Code: “A Cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.” Its effectiveness and genius lies in its brutal simplicity. Over the past two hundred years, it has evolved and been clarified. In 1922, West Point Superintendent MG Douglas MacArthur formalized the process with the formation of the Cadet Honor Committee. Since then, it has been further ‘tweaked.’

It also offers the Three Rules of Thumb to aid cadets in their moral journey:

Does this action attempt to deceive anyone or allow anyone to be deceived?

Does this action gain or allow the gain of privilege or advantage to which I or someone else would not otherwise be entitled?

Would I be satisfied by the outcome if I were on the receiving end of this action?

Superficially, it seems straight forward. Similarly, its necessity is very apparent. Cadets (and Army officers) must be trustworthy to have an effective fighting force.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

@rangerrebew

I don't think so. MAYBE Congress or the WH,but  even that is not a sure thing.

I think it largely rests on management,meaning the senior officers.

Which went out the window with Miss Miley running the army. I don't know who was running the other branches,but I have no reason to believe they haven't been infiltrated by globalist officers,also.
