It is an effort by young leaders in the United States Army to force the Academy to bow to the Woke Cult and make the Anti-Racism the central feature of the Academy’s curriculum. This policy statement was apparently drafted by a group of recent Academy graduates (classes of 2018 and 2019). These graduates all came from the top tier of the ranks of the Academy’s cadet leaders. Two recent valedictorians and First Captains signed this manifesto. (Other past First Captains include Douglas MacArthur, John J. Pershing, and William C. Westmoreland.) The other cadets all held high-ranking positions within the Corps of Cadets. They are the cream of the crop of the Army’s future leaders, the guys and gals that will become generals one day and will be expected to lead America’s sons and daughters in combat. Their actions are akin to those of the Red Guards in Maoist China. They are agitating to tear the Academy apart from the ground up and reorient its mission around Anti-Racism. The fact that our country’s future leaders believe in this nonsense is a sign that our military is in trouble, and cannot be relied upon either to defend our country or to safeguard the interests of all Americans in the performance of their duties.

Aren't service academy students appointed by members of Congress? How are they vetting these people?
This is why France fell to the Germans in six weeks in 1940.

Our adversaries around the world are watching closely. And they are taking notes.
Division, discord, and and perceived lack of resolve invite aggression. Just saying.

Yeah, but they surrendered in good conscience.
Soldiers should shut up and soldier. If they want to play a role in the poltitics of the age then let them leave the military.
Remember the picture with their raised fists?
BTW, these kids need to be shown the door and discharged from whatever military duties they may have.
This is a violation of the UCMJ.
It’s probably not only worth asking who is enrolling but also who is teaching at the academies, and who is in charge of administration.
To a large extent, the students are just the end result.
‘The fact that our country’s future leaders believe in this nonsense is a sign that our military is in trouble’
I would say that the notion of female generals is a big, fat sign of trouble...
I still have the map I assembled of my battalion's area of operations in Germany. It's pretty damn large (about 500 square miles, considering it covered 3 NATO air bases: Hahn, Bitburg, and Spangdahlem.
Back then, the most dangerous weapon in the US Army arsenal was a Second Lieutenant and a map. Yeah, I was one, but became an excellent map reader long before I was promoted to First LT...lol.
Over the next four years Trump needs to focus on undoing the infiltration of our institutions... and he needs to create his own list for Supreme Court Justices...
I remember flying OV-10s in Korea with a map bag full of 1:50K scale maps. You had to pull them out one at a time to navigate anywhere close to the no-fly-line at the DMZ. Map reading was, and is an essential skill for pilots today. GPS is just an aid.
This is public school brainwashed little nazis expressing their opinion. And it looks unanimous.
I was in Armor before GPS. Compasses are useless in a tank. We had to learn to read a map. No alternative.
Nothing more ADORABLE than a ROTC ‘Butter Bar’ Lieutenant, fresh out of college and newly assigned to my unit. :)
As a Platoon Sergeant, I was in charge of showing them the ropes, how things worked, the Chain of Command, what their duties would be, what our mission currently was, who they were in charge of, etc. I always loved the ‘deer in the headlights’ stare they initially had, LOL!
Those assignments made for some life-long friendships, and a few great future assignment opportunities too, as we both moved up the ranks.
“No alternative.”
Isn’t the ‘alternative’ just running over shiite until you get to where you want to be? Who’s going to stop you?
Just Kidding! Don’t run me over! ;)
I heard our top brass is in favor of renaming bases over trumps objection. Wow.
I served from 1978-1995. The Clinton years were the worst; that’s when a LOT of this woke/gay/anything goes cr@p started.
We lost a TON of Captains and Senior NCOs during those years - I processed their retirements. Recruiting and Retention was having a VERY hard time keeping any remaining patriots on board.
Sad days. But - Elections Matter. We Conservatives are certainly reaping the whirlwind these days, after allowing many DECADES of this stupidity.
Strip em & boot em. If command cant correct things no later than the day before yesterday then do the same to them and continue doing so until we find a commander that doesn’t have his head stuck up his ass.
