USMA chief wants to change lyrics of 2 West Point songs
WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — The head of the U.S. Military Academy thinks it’s time to replace the “men” and “sons” in West Point’s two most beloved songs with more gender-neutral lyrics.
Lt. Gen. Franklin “Buster” Hagenbeck, superintendent of the nation’s oldest military academy, told a congressional oversight committee Wednesday that with more than 3,000 women graduating from West Point since 1976, the change is long overdue.
During a presentation Wednesday to the academy’s Board of Visitors meeting in Washington, Hagenbeck said he wants to change the words to the military academy’s alma mater and its companion piece, “The Corps.” Both songs date back about a century.
In “The Corps,” the proposals include changing “The men” to “The ranks,” and “We sons” to “The Corps.”
Snip
Political correctness must be paid lip service too. Hallowed tradition and esprit de corp mean nothing.
Obamanation of the Proletariat
Quote: Once the Marxist wing of the Democrat Party is swept into office the Chicagofication of the nation will begin. The Marxists in the purged Democrat Party will begin to “change America and the world.”
One paragrah from one article and it says it all!
Is Obama Smarter Than a 5th Grade Jaywalker?
I’ve got a black Labrador Retriever who is smarter than Obama and my lab isn’t a Commie Stealth Muzzie.
Yes we get it, but what the hell are we going to do about it? We allowed the two major political parties in the US to field three candidates for the office. One candidate is over the hill and has serious ’senior moments’. Another candidate is a man hating woman who brings the taint of Bill Clinton with her every place she goes. The final candidate is an igroant, Marxist, and a ‘Muslim in mufti’ who will undermine the country at every opportunity if elected. It’s time for a ’serious grass roots revolt’ by the American people. It’s time we force political parties to stop foisting off on us ‘who they want elected’ and give us someone who is at least marginally qualified for the job of POTUS. None of the three candidates who are in the race are qualified for anything, but telling lie after lie and shameless pandering for votes at any price.
Pelosi : Bush comments ‘beneath dignity of office’… Biden: ‘Bulls*%$!’…
The Left as per usual have got it all wrong, again! You don’t negotiate with terrorists or Arabs (Actually that’s one and the same thing) as they perceive any negotiations as a sign of weakness. Nothing less than force used in a ruthless manner will put paid to terrorist/Arab designs on Israel. As for Biden’s ‘bullshit’ comment, there is a man who’s an expert on ‘bullshit’ because he’s full of it.
Shaken Republicans look to McCain as savior…
The only thing that can save the Repub’s come Nov in regard to POTUS is that the Dem’s will field their ‘Manchurian Candidate’ the ‘Stealth Muzzie’ and the American people won’t vote the ignorant weasel into office. Hillary IMO, can defeat McCain, but the Dem’s have a history of snatching defeat from the arms of victory. As for myself I’ll be damned if I’ll vote for either one of these’ 3 never-was’s’. I’m planning on writing in ‘NONE OF THE ABOVE’ for POTUS. A wasted vote you say. Well yes it is, but its my vote to waste and I’ll be damned if I’ll vote for the lesser of evils ever again!
Wine snobs, whiskey snobs, beer snobs, and now sandwich snobs!
