    It IS their motto. Clearly they aren’t offended by the phrase.

    You did enough to respond. What do you have against Duty, Honor, Country as the mission statement?

    No, the motto was already that. Hence why it didn’t change.

    What changed was the mission statement

    People like switching their "mottos" , "mission statements", etc... you hire HR and they come in and fix stuff that didn't need fixing. Its just what humans do. Who cares?

    I’d get the outrage if they changed it to wokeness over readiness or something lol

    It should be like issue #342 for any democrat or republican. This just cannon fodder.

    I don’t think you have to be of West Point or the military to “get it”. You just have to have the basic ability to understand how such statements are taken vey seriously by those who are.

    I considered making an analogy of if they completely rewrote the star spangled banner, but odds are you still wouldn’t understand that either.

    Your bad grammar might be getting in the way here but are you saying their mission statement is short so therefore you can’t understand how it’s important to them?

    Your logic is so bizarre it has to be intentional

    Grammar is good. It’s only been their mission statement since the 90s….not like someone is changing the Declaration of Independence lol

    Places do marketing campaigns. They change them to be able to issue press releases — so likely, nothing.

    Just like the other 9 times it has been changed.

    This is the first one that seems to have made it here though — so it’s calling attention to the branch.

    lol don’t think I said that. Just saying it’s not like the star spangled banner, it’s not even older than the kids of most of the RW posters on this forum

    His wife's ex-husband claims Biden stole his wife away from him.

    Jill Biden's ex-husband accuses her of affair with Joe Biden in 1970s | Fox News

    Not that it really matters, but it shows the double standards and lack of media coverage (because obviously people like you don't know).
    Or maybe it wasn't considered a news story because most Democrat voters would not view that type of thing as a big deal.

    It’s older than the cadets at West Point. And you have no clue what the average age of RW posters on this forum is, and given that RWers tend to be older while Lefties love them some stupid young people, your statements are just ignorant at this point.

    Nothing. It’s the same. Motto hasn’t changed.

    Jesus. That would make her an adulterer, not Joe

    So you claimed that the claims about Biden were “arguably even more convincing” than against trump based on a fraudulent definition of adultery and that relies on unsubstantiated claims from his wife’s ex 50 years ago?

    And that is more substantiated than trump openly paying off a prostitute while married?

    Hilarious. It’s hard to debate facts when stuff like this is presented as “more substantial” than proven evidence.

    The link is to a poorly written, nonsensical opinion piece that is lacking any semblance of facts or relevant details.

    So what is wrong with the new motto?

    Looks like people found another non-issue to be upset about. Nothing more silly than manufactured outrage.
