West Point cadets learn to respect democracy

The U.S. military's loyalties, responsibilities and norms are in a spotlight as the country enters a presidential election year. At West Point, cadets learn to respect the Constitution. #usa #military #news

Respect democracy...whenever it is convenient for my side.

[human_dgbhedh]

This is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy

[worldofdoom]

If only the government would respect veterans

[U.S.bill]

NOT after todays announcement. Disgusting. That place is a JOKE now

[janiecovey]

Excellent idea. We need more of this . Some people have no idea what the constitution contains.

[vonrock]

Democracy is people deciding, not certain groups or attitudes.

[bsmithhammer]

Thanks for this. I wish the rest of our population took these things as seriously as these young cadets do.

[Christian-dizu]

In a democracy you aren’t allowed to take out your opponent. Like with frivolous lawsuits.

Joe Biden and his administration need to take these classes- they either have no idea or don't care what limits it sets on the Government

[JoeyJoJoJrShabbado]

Yeah but Jan 6 ain’t what you think it is

"Democracy is indispensable to Socialism." -Marx 'The goal of Socialism is Communism.' - Lenin.

Get the women and fancy boys out of there and then teach that we live in a Republic and not a democracy

[Dylan-srz]

I own 4 lobbyists. Because we live in a democracy. 😏

[TheBetito]

They look very anxious. Tough enviroment

[MeanGeneExtraMean]

I pledge allegiance to the democracy for which it stands… wait 😅 our forefathers hated democracy and said monarchy was preferable. We are a Constitutional Republic.

[TheBetito]

This very much looks like the military is having an ideology pushed to future officers. Why should the military be talking to cadets about internal politics?

[afterburnerfox]

ask them to dismantle the military industrial complex

[ReginaJune]

2:00 I have Hotels in all these places - obviously I know first hand about the crime exploding in Chicago, NY….. sometimes even before anyone else 😂

[DeeWeber]

We inherit the constitution when we’re lucky to be born American and we adopt it when we immigrate. Pluralistic self governance is hard. Thank you for your service. I would like to support you. I’d also love to hear from you more. 🇺🇸

Beautiful, this gives me hope for a brighter tomorrow. 😊
