Duty, Honor, Country

Joseph R. John

My New Years wish is that the nations youth may be made aware of the below listed superb explanation of the timeless motto of the US Military Academy at West Point, submitted by Colonel Sam Holliday, USA (Ret),West Point Class of 1948.

It is our hope that the nations youth, especially the 51% of them who now support Socialism, instead of The Free Enterprise System and the United States Constitutional Republican form of government, can be made aware of the meaning of the motto, Duty, Honor, Country by those who receive this Op Ed.

Unfortunately for the last 12 years, radical leftist teachers in middle and high schools have been using the Common Core Curriculum, with the fake and dishonest replacement US History text books, funded by Nazi collaborator George Soros, to indoctrinate students that Socialism is a much better system, than The US Constitutional Republic.  Those indoctrinated students go on to colleges and continued to be indoctrinated by radical Marxist professors, who degrade the US Constitution, and celebrate the wonders of Socialism.

Naive students seem to be unaware that Socialism has failed in the 37 countries where it once governed over the last 100 years.  Socialism has been responsible for suppressing individual freedoms of the citizens in those 37 countries, and those Socialist governments have murdered hundreds of millions of former free people and destroyed their economies. 

The failures of Socialist governments can be easily observed by naïve and indoctrinated high school and college students, if they simply open their eyes, and observe what is happening to the citizens in North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, China, Russia, and Iran today.  They should compare the lives of the people in those countries, with their own lives under the Free Enterprise System and democracy.

Today the economies in the nations of the world are floundering, while the US’ Free Enterprise System is the most robust and successful economy in the world, with a record 7 million job openings.
