West Point updates mission statement, replacing "Duty, Honor, Country" with "Army Values," sparking controversy.

The U.S. Military Academy at West Point has updated its mission statement, sparking controversy among some critics who view the change as an attempt to "go woke." The new mission statement removes the "Duty, Honor, Country" phrase and replaces it with a focus on "Army Values." Despite the change in wording, West Point Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland reassures that "Duty, Honor, Country" remains the institution's motto and is foundational to its culture.
