WEST POINT’S ‘ARMY VALUES’: BUILD BACK BETTER ‘WOKISM’ REPLACES ‘DUTY, HONOR, COUNTRY’
The famous words “Duty, Honor, Country” remain West Point’s motto, but its overt deletion in Mission Statement drew shockwaves of disapproval & protest from both military veterans & American citizens.
March 22, 2024
On Monday, March 11th the US Military Academy at West Point announced that its Mission Statement was changed, excluding the words “Duty, Honor, Country.” It didn’t take long for the adverse reaction.
By the end of the Friday work week, the Associated Press and many mainstream outlets ran the headline:
Duty, Honor, Outrage: Change to West Point’s Mission Statement Sparks Controversy
The famous words “Duty, Honor, Country” remain West Point’s motto, but its overt deletion in the Mission Statement drew shockwaves of disapproval and protest from both military veterans and American citizens.
Those hallowed words have been the Academy’s motto since 1898, and since 1996 included in the Mission Statement.
The 222-year-old historic institution embraces tradition and changes omitting those highly meaningful, stirring words that are not about to go unnoticed.
As a West Point graduate, a journalist for over a decade, and author of “Don’t Let the Bastards Getcha Down,” chronicling my own unique “West Point Story,” I feel obliged to weigh in on this currently topical “mini scandal.”
It’s not uncommon every few years for the Military Academy to implement slight word change variations in the school’s Mission Statement, having done it nine previous times.
A 1992 paper entitled “The Evolution of West Point’s Mission Statement: A Necessary Condition for Survival,” states:
Its mission has changed numerous times, primarily influenced by four factors: ‘wars, national military policy, changing national environment and the personality of West Point’s leaders.’
Perhaps the current revision of West Point’s Mission Statement has lots to do with a “changing national environment,” far more than the other three factors, though our “national military policy” is definitely also changing.
With recent talk of NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine, the US/NATO/West continues violating all of Putin’s red lines with the West’s ongoing policy that continues to instigate, provoke and prod the Russian bear that will likely soon trigger World War III. This is certainly where we are headed.
As a Military Academy graduate in 1973, the year the last US soldiers came home from fighting in Vietnam and US ushered in its volunteer army, ending the US Selective Service draft.
Conscription today is once again being discussed because the prospect of another US involved war appears on the immediate horizon. At the same time, according to an article a year ago on warontherocks.com:
The all-volunteer force may finally have reached its breaking point.
During the fiscal year 2023, the DoD enlistment quota goals were missed by a whopping 41,000 soldiers.
Ever since America’s 20-year longest running war loss in Afghanistan in August 2021, all the US armed forces have fallen drastically to an all-time low, becoming a growing concern to our national security.
Defense Department’s acting undersecretary for personnel and readiness Ashish Vazirani testifying late last year at the US House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee gave the following reasons – “a strong economy,” meaning young people have more options. That’s a bad joke as the US economy is anything but strong.
Other reasons Vazirani gave was that Generation Z (born 1997-2012) held “low trust in institutions” following “nontraditional life and career paths.” Also mentioned was back in 1995 40% of young people had a parent that served in the armed forces, and by 2022 only 12% had military veteran parents.
Though other than the farcical explanation of a “strong economy”, the others cited above are somewhat valid. But this poster boy for recruitment purposely left out the biggest reasons – Wokism, losing war after war and too many young Americans dying on foreign soil, not for democracy or defending our country’s freedom, but for US Empire and Great Zionist Israel Project, stealing oil and guarding poppy fields for black ops heroin export in Afghanistan.
Plus, the inherent immorality and sheer horror of war (other than in self-defense) may set off alarm bells in their moral compass to adamantly avoid the military.
Despite today’s shaky economy that in previous times always motivated young men and women to sign up for military service, this time around, as much as the soaring price hikes on food, gas, rent, and inflation, plus the spike in job layoffs, so few Americans joining the military ranks these days is a growing concern.
Here’s another left-out factor – American young people, in addition to being too woke, soft, pudgy snowflakes, used to their safe space, even if they wanted to join, they’re unfit and unqualified.
A study a year and a half ago determined that only 23% of young people today in America even qualify for military service due to being overweight, using drugs or having mental and physical health problems.
That’s three out of four in our younger generation either too fat, or mentally and emotionally unfit and unstable to even enter the military – pretty pathetic. That says a lot about the sorry state of our nation.
The large growing deficit of new soldiers entering our armed forces actually is a national security threat, not the wars thousands of miles away in Ukraine and Israel.
Though billions in US tax dollars supporting wars in Ukraine and the Middle East place an additional burden on Americans struggling to stay afloat within today’s unstable economy, these two increasingly unpopular wars in reality actually pose zero threat to our own national security.
Yet last month the Senate passed a $60 billion package for Ukraine that the House delayed voting on, while the unsecured US open border now deemed our biggest threat and problem by Americans in the latest poll remains open and unfunded.
Last month two fellow West Point grads in Congress co-sponsored a bill to put foreign invaders not loyal to America in uniform and give them guns to be fast-tracked to US citizenship, a disaster in the making as part of the replacement scheme.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has all but conceded assuring more US money will be allocated to keep wars in Ukraine and Israel going at all costs, despite both conflicts being controversial boondoggled, losing propositions.
In the meantime, no funds to fix our growing border crisis even appear forthcoming, again all by design by the globalists that created the world’s worst migration crisis in history.
Within this unpredictable, volatile climate of unsettling, precarious flux only mounting in America, the issue of West Point opting out of its “Duty, Honor, Country” mission is making lots of headlines this week.
The reason is more symbolic than anything. Americans see their country being overrun, by both foreign invaders and a subversive Wokism, perpetrated by a Marxist left takeover to destroy America.
Thus, the traditional values that “Duty, Honor, Country” uphold that the vast majority of Americans embrace, excised out from West Point’s mission, combined with the Academy’s over-the-top Wokism that again the majority of Americans reject, it is viewed as just more wokist, globalist replacement agenda of what Americans traditionally cherish.
West Pointer and World War II war hero Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s famous May 1962 farewell address to the cadets closed with these same sacred words:
In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield. But in the evening of my memory I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes: Duty, Honor, Country.
The last three years under the late US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin III, whom I supervised when he was a West Point plebe, our nation and armed forces have gone full blown woke, embracing the LGBTQ nonbinary agenda.

Servicemen in uniform are now wearing dresses in the mess hall, their military assignments are put on official hold for at least a year so that at more taxpaid expense a delusional man pretending to be a woman can undergo dangerous hormonal and surgical treatment getting his penis and gonads chopped off, just to accommodate and embrace his mental illness believing he’s really a woman.
This institutionalized insanity is tragically America’s pathetic defense force today, totally ill-prepared to keep our nation safe, much less ready to fight our next war.
This delusional fixation on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) that makes nonbinary gender race training the military’s top priority rather than ensuring combat readiness has obliterated both our military strength as well as our service morale and is the primary reason the quotas are falling so abysmally short to attract new enlistments.
Fake Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin rode affirmative action to the top of his Peter Principle incompetence. He wasted thousands of taxpayer dollars training future pro-US paramilitary groups in Iraq only to complete the training and join ISIS in Iraq in record numbers under the Obama regime.

It was Obama who went against the advice of his then Director of Military Intelligence General Michael Flynn to create and finance the world’s largest terrorist organization ISIS, with its notorious unleashed rampage across the Middle East.
In Afghanistan, Pentagon chief Austin was disgracefully in charge of US history’s most humiliating, tragic war defeat ever, capping it off with 13 more American soldiers needlessly dying at the Kabul Airport in August 2021.
Lloyd Austin is responsible for the maiming and murder of thousands more of our soldiers after mandating a known bioweapon kill shot poison on every member of our armed forces that same year 2021 and 2022.
He also discharged over 8,400 of our best soldiers who were forced to resign for refusing his death jab. Austin and his Pedophile Imposter-in-Thief boss Joe Biden are both US traitors and need to be prosecuted.
Then at the start of this year 2024, Lloyd Austin went AWOL, for a week no one in government knew where he was, for several days not even Dementia Biden knew he was laid up out of commission at Walter Reed Hospital, the very same week the war in Gaza was expanding into a regional Middle East war.

So, is it any wonder that Austin would join fellow traitor bosses Obama and Biden to do everything in their collective diabolical power to destroy America sooner rather than later?
Now you know why “Duty, Honor, Country” is no longer important enough to be included in West Point’s Mission Statement because to our top leaders, it isn’t.
Here is the previous West Point Mission Statement:
In addition to “Duty, Honor, Country” taken out, the second word inserted is “build,” as in the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset mantra to “Build Back Better.”
Those are today’s Army Values, the brand espoused by those malignantly in charge.
Make no mistake, the fall of America and our military forces is at the hands of our globalist enemy pushing degeneracy to polarize and deliberately make American defense forces too toxic and weak to fight.
The elites have ordered World War III to drastically depopulate our planet, forcing US/NATO/West to go head-to-head in a potential nuclear exchange fighting the Eastern powers of Russia, China and Iran.
Bottom line, the West does not stand a chance opposing the far superior military strength of the Eastern forces, not to mention risking nuclear annihilation.
The coming Armageddon, plotted and predicted over a century and a half ago by the then top US Freemason Albert Pike, is currently being engineered in the Middle East by the powers that should never be.
I’ve written a number of articles about West Point’s toxic form of leadership that in recent decades promotes straight to the top of the food chain of command, only the order-following minions possessing psychopathic tendencies, obediently losing all US modern wars by elitist design.
True leadership that inspires subordinate soldiers to rise to their potential is sorely lacking at both West Point and in today’s armed forces because it’s the bureaucratic politician-general who reaches the four-star club, the ones who simply do what they’re told by psychopaths above them in Washington who in turn do what they’re told by the psychopaths in the City of London calling all the shots in our genocidal world.
Sadly, my alma mater West Point has morphed and shaped into a globalist tool. Time for a wake-up call to fight the demons.
Depopulation ranks as our globalist enemy’s #1 priority, not only grotesquely on display in Gaza, but the entire planet with imminent WWIII, a co-timed collapsed economy, and more lethal bioweapon poisons to be unleashed.
We have Satanic overlords dictating only suicidal policies to political puppets fast destroying the Westmiddle-class because the West’s white middle class Christian majority is deemed most resistive to one world government tyranny’s neo-feudal enslavement.
The elites are racing to get their genocide job done before we come after them with pitchforks, armed with truth, truth commissions and military tribunals. Justice will be served when the mass killers hang from the gallows.
Joachim Hagopian is a West Point graduate, former Army officer and author of “Don’t Let the Bastards Getcha Down” exposing a faulty US military leadership system based on ticket punching up the seniority ladder, invariably weeding out the best and brightest, leaving mediocrity and order followers rising to the top as politician-bureaucrat generals designated to lose every modern US war by elite design.
