West Point Military Academy drops "Duty, Honor, Country" from mission statement
- infotainment 3y ago> “Duty, Honor, Country” has been the motto of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point since 1898" > "the school’s “Duty, Honor, Country,” motto first made its way into that mission statement in 1998." If they dropped the motto after a century+ that'd be a bit strange, but this is just the late-90s era mission statement that presumably no one has ever paid any attention to. But you know, got to feed the internet anger machine.
