Duty, Honor, Outrage: Change to West Point's mission statement sparks controversy

“Duty, Honor, Country” has been the motto of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point for 126 years. The motto isn’t changing, but a decision to take those words out of the school’s lesser-known mission statement is generating outrage. Conservative radio host Jeff Kuhner posted on X that West Point “is going woke.” Fox network host Rachel Campos-Duffy posted that the academy has gone gone “full globalist." Officials at the 222-year-old military academy 60 miles north of New York City say that while “Duty, Honor, Country” will always be the school’s motto, the mission statement is updated periodically.
