West Point Changes Mission Statement, Removing Values 'Duty, Honor, Country'

In a move sure to worry many that the venerable two-century-old West Point is going woke, Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland announced Monday a change in the institution’s mission statement.

The phrase “duty, honor, country” is out — exchanged for the more amorphous “Army values.”

The United States Military Academy’s previous mission statement was: “To educate, train and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service to the nation as an officer in the United States Army.”

"Army Values" - what a vapid nonsensical euphemism.

Follow up question, "What are the Army Values?"

They are overeacting to their recruitment shortfalls.

Recruitment is not falling because the "Army" isn't cool with today's snowflakes (who would make terrible soldiers because they don't understand what an 'order' is; they mistake it for a suggestion).

Recruitment is falling because people don't want to die in useless foreign wars of choice, for d1ckhe@d politicians, only to be forgotten and abandoned after service discharge.

The nation is less devoted to enlisted personnel as the enlisted personnel are more devoted to our nation.

"Duty, Honor, Country" is out.

It is to be replaced by "Army Values." I never liked that term when it 1st came out back when I was still inside b/c it subordinated the Constitution to what the Army valued. Of course, that necessarily means that the Army would be subordinated to what those in charge of it meant - mediated through a deadening bureaucracy.

Know what you see.

We're living through a revolutionary cycle. Understand events through that prism.
