There is nothing here that will surprise you. It’s not surprising that you won’t find anything here to write about or even read. Because it’s not only important to continue to expose the left’s insidious efforts to destroy the U.S. military as we know it; it’s also important to understand how deeply those efforts run. And when “concerned graduates of West Point” speak out, I listen.
Retired U.S. Army officers wrote this letter, entitled Declaration of Betrayal at West Point and the Long Gray Line signed by “Concerned Graduates of West Point and The Long Gray Line,” as reported by Just the News, which objects to mandatory COVID vaccinations, so-called [Marxist-derived] “critical race theory” indoctrination, “progressivism,” and other “woke” sentiments of the famed military academy.
Incidentally, “Concerned Members of the Long Gray Line” is a coalition of over 1,000 West Point alumni from six decades of graduating classes, who collectively served across 10 presidential administrations. This is part of the above-mentioned letter:
The Long Gray Line is a group of United States Military Academy alumni. This line is a repository of American battlefield-tested experience and an institution memory of Military Academy. It also serves as the watchdog of United States Corps of Cadets.
It is therefore the holy duty of the Long Gray Line, to combat dysfunctional conduct and rogue behavior such as the one that has taken over West Point.
[…]
These changes are threatening the Academy’s mission. This suggests that the Honor Code has not been enforced as historically, and is being allowed to fall apart. […]
The signators pointed out that civilian faculty also plays a part in indoctrinating cadets to be politically active.
Faculty members from civilia have been able to indoctrinate students to adopt a socialist view of academic teaching. This is contrary to the Constitution’s noble principles. A bias towards liberal guest speakers further demonstrates the corruption in cadet instruction. In recent years, we could not find any conservative speakers.
The Academy Staff has repeatedly required Academy cadets, in violation of their religious freedoms long respected by the Academy, to break these beliefs. This is very concerning. Cadets have been coerced into complying with illegal orders – mandates – to submit to vaccinations with experimental drugs never approved by the FDA.
This violates the UCMJ by requiring people to consent to being vaccinated with experimental drugs. This violates the Nuremburg War Crimes Tribunal’s precedent that declared the use involuntary of experimental drugs a crime against humanity. It is grossly against international law that the Staff violates and it also undermines the impartial administration by the Academy of military justice.
What about the so-called Critical Race Theory? Naturally.
The Academy offers Critical Race Theory (CRT). This instruction cuts off all ties to defense of Constitution and nullifies the oaths cadets swear to uphold. Now Critical Race Theory replaces Duty, Honour, and Country.
The cumulative impact of these changes has so altered the Military Academy that USMA betrays the purpose for which it was founded in 1802 – defense of our Constitution, and maintenance of individual freedom. This change betrays both the original purpose of its founders as well as the sacred principles of Declaration of Independence.
As I transcribed the above, I thought about what it must feel like for a proud West Point graduate “of the past” to see what has become of the iconic academy he or she so loves; much like I’ve thought about what my dad — a proud U.S. Marine who at age 23 drove a tank onto the black volcanic-sand beach of Iwo Jima on day one of the bloodiest battles of WW II — would think about today’s “woke” military, not to mention the state of the country he fought for — and many of his friends died for.
Retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely told the Epoch Times the retired military leaders “wanted to challenge the leadership of the Academy and the Defense Dept on their WOKE actions, CRT, Diversity training and the other discrepancies in the Academy,” adding:
This was apparent at Naval and Air Force Academies, so it is clear that the directives came from the top Military Leadership. Everyone wants the Military to return to leading and training our Armed Forces for America’s security.
This is often true for organizations such as charities, corporations and political parties. Wokified RotThe top is the most important position in the Armed Forces of the United States. For ample evidence, one need only look at Lloyd Austin, Secretary of Defense and Mark Milley (Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) for proof. The following RedState articles might interest you:

Bottom line:
Like the rabid right and its death grip upon Joe Biden and the Democrat Party as well, we witness the intentional degradation of the Armed Forces of the United States into a battle-ready, hardened fighting force. It was designed by Lloyd Austin, Mark Milley and other left-wingers educators indoctrinators embedded in our U.S. Military Academies, and various other “woke” forces.
This is organised madness in an ever-dangerous world.
You already know that.
