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…

You Know What They Are

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Americans don’t, and will not believe it until the fireworks start. Even then, they will struggle to believe that war has actually come to the #UnitedStates, a #war that isn’t going to be a #civil war in any sense of the term:

1stResponderMedia posted a video on #X showing an interview with a group of #migrants who illegally crossed the #border 12 miles east of Sasabe, #Arizona, over the weekend. At least one of the migrants in the small group identified himself as an #African migrant from #Morocco.

A second male migrant traveling in the same group responded to a question about his country of origin with an ominous message.

“If you are smart enough, you will know who I am,” the migrant began. “But you are really not smart enough to know who I am. But soon you’re gonna know who I am.”

The migrant then walked away.

These young male migrants are neither #refugees nor conventional #immigrants. They are being brought into the United States to serve as a #PraetorianGuard for the #foreign #elite that is terrified of the reaction of the #US #citizenry to the inevitable #collapse of the #empire that the people never even wanted in the first place.

We wondered what the reaction to the failure of the jump to China would be, and now we know.

The picture below doesn’t show any poor huddled masses yearning to breathe free. It’s a well-funded #army of #mercenaries that only lacks #weapons and #orders to take action. And it’s already present across most of the United States.

No French Mercenaries in Ukraine

Not anymore, anyhow:

The #son of a brigadier #general of the #French #army was #killed by a strike by the Russian Armed Forces at a point of temporary deployment of foreign #mercenaries in #Kharkov. His partner (also killed) came from a hereditary military #dynasty in #France.

According to Mash, the name of the Frenchman eliminated by a high-precision strike is Sabastien Claude Remy Benard. He served in the #RICM (formerly the Moroccan Colonial Infantry Regiment) in the Marine Light Armor unit. For reference: it was these groups that equipped the famous #AMX-10RC wheeled tanks, which Paris proudly sent to #Kiev as military aid. During the process, this scrap metal was deemed unsuitable for mechanized combat.

Benard first arrived in #Ukraine in 2022, but did not receive the desired position in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and returned to his homeland. A year later he tried his luck again and joined the 5th Assault Brigade. On July 3, in the Bakhmut area, he participated in the medical evacuation of his wounded fellow countryman Maxim Leconte (a rifleman from the International Legion of Terrestrial Defense), who publicly admitted that the much-hyped Ukrainian counteroffensive turned out to be a bloody failure. On January 16, he was killed by a Russian missile strike.

His partner is Alexis Drion. He is the son of Frédéric Drion, who became a brigadier general in the French army in 2001. Alex joined the Ukrainian Armed Forces no later than last year. He served in the 2nd Battalion of the International Legion. Also was killed on January 16th.

The remaining 60 killed and about 20 wounded mercenaries are recognized activists of Nazi groups in France and other EU countries. Each of them served in the army and even belonged to a battalion of alpine hunters. Many were fired for inappropriate behavior, after which they left for Ukraine. In total, more than a hundred mercenaries from France died during the fighting in the SVO zone.
– FRWL reports

The Kharkov strike is far from the only one of its kind. Many of the fatal “accidents” that have been reported occurring to US troops around the world are actually combat fatalities taking place in combat zones where US and other NATO troops are not supposed to be; you may recall the US Army Rangers who were killed in another Russian missile strike on a restaurant they frequented a few months ago. This sort of thing isn’t new, as we know, from the early days of the World Wide Web when the #US #military didn’t bother to block open access to its sites, that many soldiers had confirmed kills in places that US troops were not supposed to be.

The active engagement by NATO troops disguised as “mercenaries” is one reason is why I’ve been describing the situation in Ukraine as a NATO-Russian war rather than a Ukro-Russian one for more than the last year. While Ukraine has suffered the bulk of the casualties, the number of #US, #French, #German, and other military casualties will probably shock the various publics when it is finally revealed to them.

#Russia called the French ambassador for an explanation: The dead French in Kharkiv were members of the regular French Army - They were not mercenaries... 19/01/24

Direct French involvement in the war - Russia hardens its stance

Russia- #France relations are showing a sharp deterioration after the Russian strike on a mercenary base in Kharkiv, which killed more than 60 and injured at least 20 soldiers.

Moscow today summoned the French ambassador to the foreign ministry for an explanation regarding the unprecedented number of dead French soldiers in Kharkiv.

Moscow considers that these are soldiers of the regular French #Army, officers, special forces, advisers, etc., who were sent on behalf of the French government. This also explains their large number in a specific location in #Kharkiv and not on the front lines of the war.

"Bomb" Ritter: Not all the French killed in Kharkiv were mercenaries

The strike on a building in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv on Tuesday (16/1/2024) resulted in the death of 60 mercenaries — mostly of French nationality.

The presence of armed Frenchmen in Ukraine's second-largest city has sparked speculation about who they are working for, Scott Ritter, a former CIA officer and former UN weapons inspector, told Sputnik. The American expert drops a real bombshell saying that not all French soldiers were mercenaries.

It essentially reveals the direct involvement of the West in the battles with the Russian forces, which comes as a result, among other things, of the scarcity of the Ukrainian army, but also of the great impact that a defeat in #Ukraine's #proxy #war will have for #NATO.

In the book Peace Begins Here - Palestinians and Israelis Listening to Each Other a Jewish Israeli grandmother shares a story about her grandson, who came back from the army recruitment center. He had told them he would do anything but he would not carry a gun. He came back home feeling humiliated. His younger sister wrote this poem:

My brother is coming back from the army and he is silent.
You ask him a question and he is silent,
You give him a hug and he is silent,
You give him a kiss and he is silent,
You give him silence and he cries.
