West Point To Make Honor Code 'Aspirational' In Another Destructive Move By Superintendent LTG Gilland

[Armed Forces Press] When LTG Steve Gilland took the ~~reigns~~ reins of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, since he is a former special operator, many grads were somewhat relieved, as they surmised he would be more true to West Point's history and legacy than LTG Williams, who infested the academy with Marxist ideology.

Now, many grads see in Gilland another senior officer betraying his oath and attempting to change West Point in keeping with the Biden agenda.

Recent minutes of the Board of Visitors of West Point's spring meeting show Gilland is moving to change the venerable 'honor code' to be 'aspirational' instead of sacrosanct.

How does this build character one might ask?

The answer is - it doesn't.

The only reason for this move, along with removing Duty, Honor, Country from the mission statement, is to weaken the integrity of graduates who will fill the U.S. military's ranks, so they may be enjoined to repress and persecute the American citizenry in the future.

If an officer can lie, cheat, or steal, what's to stop him from firing on innocent Americans at the will of a fascist Federal government?

With that pesky little phrase 'Duty, Honor, Country', and now 'Honor' removed, West Point is no longer creating leaders of character, but a Pretorian Guard for the emperor.

#1 When those who call themselves Roman but no longer know what a Roman is, what it means to be Roman. Rome has fallen.

#4 I would have thought the military was immune to this sort of nonsense given that in war, if you lie to yourself about capabilities and situations, you die. This is unlike academia where you can simply make things up and happily believe in them without consequences.

#5 The military is never immune. Especially when it is run by civilian bureaucrats.

#6 Going to make it so much easier to down size DoD. Return to much smaller annual classes and only a engineering degree.

/\.... smaller annual classes and only a engineering degree.

You're talking Kryptonite to the entitlement crowd.

#8 'aspirational' meaning sucking air like a chest wound?

#11 They will next aspire to be in good shape. You will see cadets riding Walmart scooters to class in the next iteration.
