No Honor in the US Military

One can’t complain they haven’t made it very clear that the US Army officer corps is no long concerned with duty, honor, or least of all, country.

The #US #Military #Academy at #WestPoint has made the decision to #remove the “Duty, Honor, Country” motto from its mission statement.

As we have done nine times in the past century, we have updated our mission statement to now include the #Army #values [of] loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, integrity and personal courage,” Army Col. Terence Kelley, a West Point spokesman, told Fox News. Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth and Army Chief of Staff Randy George both approved the change, according to Gilland.

“Our updated mission statement focuses on the mission essential tasks of Build, Educate, Train, and Inspire the Corps of Cadets to be commissioned leaders of character, with the explicit purpose of being committed to the Army Values and Ready for a lifetime of service,” Gilland explained.

#Evil always tells you what it’s going to do, then tries to convince you that it doesn’t really mean what it just told you. Believe them when they tell you what they are, and what they stand for.

And it’s the third word that is the real target…

De "La Haine" à l' #Académie des #Oscars | avec #SaïdTaghmaoui

"Los Hombres de Siempre", "les Hommes de Toujours" – voilà comme on appelle en #Amérique #latine cet "établissement" des #privilégiés qui, sans plus de #mérite, depuis des décennies empêchent toute #personne #méritante, tout #talent, tout #entrepreneur, tout #rénovateur ou tout esprit libre de #contribuer à la #société. Ces vieilles #mafias, ces vieux dinosaures intellectuellement mourants sont-ils la raison pour laquelle la #France, autrefois #Superpuissance #culturelle et Grande #Puissance #économique, connaît un #déclin inexorable depuis quarante ans?

Ces vieux crocodiles attachés à leurs #privilèges et à leurs rentes sont-ils les mêmes qui font que le #Cinéma #Français, autrefois si rayonnant, mendie désormais ses places dans des productions que le grand #public boude en masse? Le génial #acteur et touche-à-tout Saïd #Taghmaoui, membre de l' #Academy of #Motion #Picture #Arts and #Sciences qui délivre les #Oscars, mais aussi #entrepreneur et #promoteur #international de #boxe #anglaise, nous livre un #diagnostic décapant de ce qui pourrait ressusciter le Grand #Art #Français.

The #Prodigy: #London #Brixton #academy: July 21st 2022 - #Eightminutesupsidedown

Some #live #footage from The boys from the live show at Brixton Academy on July 21st 2022, sorry for the terrible footage I was in a particularly bad spot just behind the sound desk but it was rammed in there so we took what we could get. I hope you can still get a sense of the atmosphere and enjoy the #video regardless.
