West Point military academy drops ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ from mission statement
The US Military Academy at West Point has made the decision to remove the “Duty, Honor, Country” motto from its mission statement.
In a letter sent to students and supporters, Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland said the phrase, which was first added to the mission statement in 1998, would be replaced with the words, “Army Values.”
“Our responsibility to produce leaders to fight and win our nation’s wars requires us to assess ourselves regularly,” Gilland wrote in a letter to cadets and supporters on Monday. “Thus, over the past year and a half, working with leaders from across West Point and external stakeholders, [bolding added: he almost certainly doesn’t mean ordinary U.S. citizens, but rather the “stakeholders” the Davos crowd is so fond of] we reviewed our vision, mission, and strategy to serve this purpose.”
He continued: “As a result of this assessment, we recommended the following mission statement to our senior Army leadership: ‘To build, educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets to be commissioned leaders of character committed to the Army Values and ready for a lifetime of service to the Army and Nation.’”
Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth and Army Chief of Staff Randy George both approved the change, according to Gilland.
According to Wikipedia, Christine Wormuth is a career civil servant who never served in tghe military. She did, however, matriculate at Williams College, and that’s not so far from West Point.(to be fair, Randy George appears to be a real soldier, with two Combat Infantry Badges to his credit. — that doesn’t excuse his going along with this pice of bullshit).
