Wokism's tentacles have reached into one of this country's most hallowed institutions. Absolutely disgusting.

What? Army Values are not bedrock? What are "Army values"? If they are Duty, Honor, Country, why change it?

9th time it changed in 100 years? D, H, C added in 1998.
I was rather surprised to read than. In the article.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Like everything else thats happening in OUR country, the people's opinions on this don't matter. Who made the decision to do this? I wasn't consulted.
We were founded as a "representative" Republic but we are in no way in hell represented!

“Army Values” means whatever they say it means and that is now a commitment to the LGBTqueer agenda and the destruction of this nation.

Here's what the U.S. Army really stands for today: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/ryIHYoL.jpg) It has become a disreputable institution due to the internal rot brought upon it by the anti-American communists.

So what you're all saying is we're done? China may as well walk in and take complete control tomorrow? Tough chance of that happening. I wish them luck! We still have NCOs!

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

Let us just say the Academy is no longer a place of Honor. As a US Army appointee to the US Military Academy at West Point, myself, this not sad or is it a joke, it is a disgrace.

Who cares?
"Gilland argued that Army values “include Duty and Honor and Country.”
He pointed out that the academy’s mission statement has changed nine times in the last century, and that Duty, Honor, Country was first added in 1998.
As a 1989 graduate of West Point, I can confirm the mission statement did not include “Duty, Honor, Country” while I was there, and it certainly didn’t change the value I place on those words."

Our forefathers did not politely protest the British.They did not vote them out of office, nor did they impeach the king,march on the capitol or ask permission for their rights. ----------------They just shot them.

I was going to say, “Duty, Honor, Country” has been around a LOT longer than ‘98.

According to this article, it has been West Points motto since 1898 and will remain the motto. Not that I trust anyone in DC but it is still going to be their motto. I guess the mission statement does periodically change. https://www.newsnationnow.com/us-news/military/west-point-updates-mission/West Point takes ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ out of mission statement West Point's motto has been 'Duty, Honor, Country' since 1898 It will still be West Point's motto but be taken out of mission statement This is the ninth change to the military academy's mission Cassie Buchman Updated: Mar 15, 2024 / 05:49 AM CDT COMMENTS DO NOT NECESSARILY Israeli leaders slam Schumer’s speech on Netanyahu | Morning in America (NewsNation) — While “Duty, Honor, Country” has been the U.S. Military Academy at West Point‘s motto since 1898, it has been taken out of its updated mission statement. In a news release Monday, West Point said that “Duty, Honor, Country is foundational” to its culture and “will always remain our motto.” “It defines who we are as an institution and as graduates of West Point,” the statement said. “These three hallowed words are the hallmark of the cadet experience and bind the Long Gray Line together across our great history.” However, after working to review West Point’s “vision, mission and strategy” with internal and external stakeholders, officials decided to recommend a new mission statement to senior Army leadership. The school’s motto, “Duty, Honor, Country,” first appeared in the mission statement in 1998. Now, though, the military academy’s mission will be 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.” Both the secretary of the Army and the Army chief of staff approved this recommendation. While some online took issue with the change, West Point said the new mission statement focuses on “essential tasks” crucial to becoming “leaders of character.” This is the ninth time West Point’s mission has changed. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
