Joe Biden's West Point decides 'Duty, Honor, Country' isn't part of its mission

[P. Coonan]

President Joe Biden has liked to use West Point’s “Duty, Honor, Country”
motto as a political cudgel. Now, under his administration, West Point is
removing that motto from its mission statement.

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point is removing that phrase from its
mission statement despite West Point Superintendent Steve Gilland saying
that those “three hallowed words” are “foundational” to the academy.
Interestingly, despite this, Gilland is also already referring to the
motto in the past tense: “it defined who we are as an institution and as
graduates of West Point.” (Emphasis added.)

Evidently, it isn’t meant to define the institution or its graduates any
longer, or else it would remain in the mission statement. The politically
and racially toxic ideology of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” has
seeped from the federal government’s bloated bureaucracy into the military
and military academies. How can West Point focus on duty, honor, and
country when it is busy “Understanding Whiteness and White Rage” and
discussing “White Power at West Point”? Where is the duty and honor in
defending a supposedly racist country?

Maybe that isn’t it. Toxic DEI ideology has leaked into military
academies, and Biden has treated the “Duty, Honor, Country” motto as a
political catchphrase to attack former President Donald Trump, but maybe
this change isn’t the product of DEI-induced hysteria. After all, Gilland
said that West Point’s mission statement has changed nine times in the
past century. That suggests a different problem: bureaucrats with too much
free time spending it changing things that don’t need changing to justify
their employment and salary.

The totality of the circumstances reflects poorly on West Point
regardless. It is undeniable that more divisive DEI policies have been
pushed into military academies, which Gilland has refused to publicly
acknowledge. It is also undeniable that this ideological push has come at
the same time that the military is missing its recruiting goals, with the
Defense Department acknowledging it was short 41,000 recruits from its
goal in fiscal 2023. With all this going on, why would removing “Duty,
Honor, Country” from West Point’s mission even cross the mind of decision-
makers right now?

Whether it’s the result of DEI decay or the churn of busybody bureaucrats,
the change is going to further reduce trust among many that the military
is focused on its goals of doing its duty with honor and protecting the
country. West Point’s leadership has no one to blame but Biden’s DEI-
focused administration and themselves.

This is disgusting.

And the military wonders why recruitment is at an all time low and they can't even bribe people to
sign up?

Would you want to be sleeping in the same tent as a Dylan Mulvaney type?
And that goes for both males and females.

Disgraceful. They will still charge anyone who violates the sum and
substance of the now vanquished words.

The recruits aren't smart enough to pass the testing. That is another
disgrace.

That's when fragging happens in the field. Don't think it doesn't.

This is disgusting.

Only because you're terrified of change.

The reason for that is the low jobless rate. Recruitment always goes up in hard economic
times and goes down when times are good.

Why not?

And that goes for both males and females.

The right is furious that everybody, white, nonwhite, male, female, gay and straight are
all being accorded equal rights.

Incensed beyond imagining about Obergefell v. Hodges, they're doing everything they can to
return America to a time when only white males held power.

What we're seeing is the backlash against that SCOTUS decision.
