West Point military academy drops ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ motto from its mission statement – as furious veterans’ slam ‘progressive ideology’ for eroding tradition

•     The phrase, which was added in 1998, will be replaced with the words ‘Army Values,’ according to Superintendent Lt. Gen. Steve Gilland
•     The lieutenant general claimed the new mission statement ‘binds the Academy to the Army’ while ‘Duty, Honor, Country’ is foundational to Academy culture
•     West Point’s mission statement has changed nine times in the past
