Pentagon sued over deletion of ‘Duty, Honor, Country’

In its effort to blast “woke” military policies, a Washington-based legal watchdog this week sued the Pentagon for documents detailing the hows and whys of the U.S. Military Academy’s decision to delete its famous motto “Duty, Honor, Country” from its mission statement.

Judicial Watch told Secrets that the move came after West Point refused to turn over information about the change. As a result, the group filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit earlier this week.


“Given the woke virus infecting West Point, deleting the words ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ from its mission statement has sparked justified concern about what the Army’s rising leadership is being taught at the United States Military Academy. And the unlawful stonewalling of the release of records about the issue makes matters worse,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said.

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

While I appreciate the patriotism, I think it has much of a chance of winning as krill against a humpback whale. **nononono*

"Duty, Honor, Country" has been replaced by "Diversity, Equity, Inclusion," silly! No problem, at least they both start with "D."  :pondering:

Military leaders are now allowing members of the armed forces to wear patches and insignia on their uniforms to show their allegiance to political parties. In this case, a USAF commander allows airmen to show their allegiance to DEI by wearing a special Pride Patch.
