Killing Woke At West Point

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point holds a special place in American culture. Largely based on the heroic and patriotic service of past generations, the Academy has acquired an almost a revered status in American society.

However, during the last two to three decades, the Academy has seen an alarming undermining of the values that made the Academy a paragon of American values and culture.

Like a cancer, the acceptance of both military personnel and civilian academics that are antithetical to “Duty, Honor, Country” have infiltrated the Academy.

While many outside the Academy are focused on the symptoms of this invidious cancer, the root cause is the real problem. If the “root causes” are not eliminated, they will return like a weed that is cut but retains its roots.
