MacArthur repeated the phrase several times in his speech:
Duty, Honor, Country. The code which those words perpetuate embraces the highest moral laws and will stand the test of any ethics or philosophies ever promulgated for the uplift of mankind. Its requirements are for the things that are right, and its restraints are from the things that are wrong. The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training — sacrifice.
In battle and in the face of danger and death, he discloses those divine attributes which his Maker gave when he created man in his own image. No physical courage and no brute instinct can take the place of the Divine help which alone can sustain him.”
MacArthur told West Point cadets: “In the evening of my memory, always I come back to West Point. Always there echoes and re-echoes: Duty, Honor, Country.”
DeSoto wrote: “Hopefully, the same will be true for today’s West Point cadets, even with ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ no longer in the mission statement.”
Several Army veterans weighed in on the change.
Oh, they’ll “ressurect” those very words and make them gospel, as soon as they finish wiping out all remnants of God and freedom and turn this place into the totalitarian state they seek.
Let’s see, it will say for “Diversity Equity and Inclusion?
It’s another step in a long march to irrelevancy by the Army marketing types who ape the worst of the “branding” advertising culture. Instead of using what was the “Army Brand” (think what makes the Army the Army) they decided it needed a makeover. Thus bringing USMA in line with the “brand” is a logical, if flawed step that will sure make it as ineffective as the rest of Army recruiting.
I have been going through a series of interviews for a position at a different “Neutrons’R Us.” Yesterday was the HR interview. The questions were all about diversity, equity, and inclusion. None of the company values had any relevance to developing and building new nuclear power plants, providing safe, clean energy to the country, ensuring regulatory compliance, safety, and quality, etc.
Folks, this is where Barack Hussein Obama and his like have brought this country by their fundamental changes. The fact is that there were no technical questions about nuclear energy that I was unable to answer. Frankly, the interviewers were very happy with the scope and breadth of my 47 years of knowledge and experience. But that isn’t the point any longer. Today it’s all about diversity, equity, and inclusion except for conservative Christians who believe in Biblical inerrancy, sacred tradition, and Judeo-Christian morality. Sadly, however, I need continuous employment at least for the time being. Therefore, so as long as no company value requires me to compromise Christian principles, I will play the game for as long as God allows.
Sidenote: I wonder how my son is making out aboard the USS Hampton SSN-767 underneath the Artic icecap. There’s no room for diversity, equity, and inclusion when the only thing between you and cold pressurized sea water at hundreds and hundred of pounds per square inch is a few inches of HY-80 stainless steel, and the only thing that can get you to the surface if there is a flooding event is that nuclear reactor back aft. Frack diversity, equity, and inclusion all to hell.
I despise godless worthless liberal progressivism.
