West Point graduates called back to school for graduation and Trump speech........

[Billy_Kinetta]

Well, it seems that Trump shows yet again how little he cares for our military. When COVID19 broke out, the military academies all sent their students home to finish out the year via remote schooling. The US Naval Academy has decided that calling all it's graduates back would be dangerous to the cadets, and so they are doing a virtual ceremony.

West Point graduates aren't so lucky. They were at home, but now will have to come back for graduation to hear Trump give a speech. Not only will they have to return under dangerous conditions (travel is risky right now), but they will also have to be quarantined before the graduation, and then, travel back under dangerous conditions home, just because Trump needs his ego stroked.

Does anyone else think that this is unnecessarily putting our military graduates at risk? I do. I mean, even the US Naval Academy says that bringing the cadets back for graduation is a bad idea, which is why they are doing it virtually.

Still think Trump cares about the military? I don't.

Trump Speech to Bring 1,000 West Point Cadets Back to Campus (Published 2020)

The president’s off-again, on-again speech in June will bring back cadets who had scattered across the country to help counter the coronavirus.

www.nytimes.com

WASHINGTON — For President Trump, who adores the pomp and precision of military ceremonies, this was the year he would finally get one of the special perks of being president — delivering the commencement address at West Point, the only service academy where he has not spoken.
But the graduation was postponed because of the coronavirus, the cadets were sent home and officials at the school were not sure when it would be held or even whether it was a good idea to hold it.
The Naval Academy, for its part, decided it was too risky to recall its nearly 1,000 graduating midshipmen to Annapolis, Md., for a commencement. Those graduates will have a virtual event. But the Air Force Academy, in contrast to the other schools, sent home its underclassmen, locked down its seniors on campus, moved up graduation, mandated social distancing — and went ahead with plans for Vice President Mike Pence to be its speaker.
And so last Friday, the day before Mr. Pence was to speak at the Air Force ceremony in Colorado, Mr. Trump, never one to be upstaged, abruptly announced that he would, in fact, be speaking at West Point.

That was news to everyone, including officials at West Point, according to three people involved with or briefed on the event. The academy had been looking at the option of a delayed presidential commencement in June, but had yet to complete any plans. With Mr. Trump’s pre-emptive statement, they are now summoning 1,000 cadets scattered across the country to return to campus in New York, the state that is the center of the outbreak.

I think you're like chicken little and live your pathetic, pitiful, useless and insignificant existence in total fear.

Wrong. I'm a retired U.S. Navy sailor, served from 1982 until 2002, and was in 4 different war zones. Unlike you, I actually understand the problem with pulling all these cadets back for graduation. You think it's okay to call them all back, exposing them to greater risk of getting the virus, just so Trump can give his speech?

Why do you hate the military?

What do the cadets say about it?

Well, considering that Trump saying that they were coming back from their speech took West Point by surprise, I'd be willing to bet most of the cadets aren't too happy about it. They had been sent home and told they were going to have a virtual graduation, so many of them may have plans they have to cancel because of this.

Never mind the risk of exposure traveling through a state that is a hot spot for the virus, the hassle of being quarantined, and then the hours long ceremony that is graduation.

"I'd be willing to bet" is not factual, but speculation.

Test are available and every cadet that returns and attendee would have been tested...so calm down Soupy Sales....

Guess you don't understand. Testing these cadets and their attendees isn't what the problem is. Forcing them to do travel they don't have to (other than to listen to Trump give a speech) in the state with the highest concentration of COVID19 cases in the country is the issue. Why force them to take risks that aren't required?

The Navy was smart enough to let their graduates stay at home and do a virtual graduation.

At West Point, Obama Presses for New World Order to Defeat Al Qaeda

President Obama on Saturday vowed to press for a new international order "that can resolve the challenges of our times" and help the United States defeat Al Qaeda and other threats to freedom.

One thing is that Al Qaeda and ISIS are pretty quiet these days and it did not take a "New World Order" to do it.

What is the difference? Well, for one, there is that whole pandemic thing and the fact that West Point is located close to where the current epicenter of the virus is. The cadets had already been sent home to finish out the year via internet. Calling them back will only subject them to risky travel that isn't required.

They had already been sent back home and were finishing out the year via computer and the internet. They were also scheduled to do a virtual graduation like the Navy did, but because Trump has to have someone to give a speech to, he is calling them back, which means they have to travel through one of the most infected areas in the country. Then, when they get there, they have to be quarantined, then after quarantine, they attend the ceremony. Lots of hassle for no really good reason.

They are flying to their next duty station anyway...what is your malfunction?....you think Trump wants to give a speech?....he can do that anytime he wants.....this is for the graduates not Trump.....we don't have a virtual Navy sailor......get that through your head....stop with the TDS accusations....

 

[JLW]

There is no reason to call these cadets back except for the glorification of Trump’s ego and as a way to boost Trump’s diminishing re-election chances.

That Trumpers would justify calling cadets back and putting them in danger just shows how brainwashed and small they have become under Trump.

There is no one more pathetic than the Trumper.

No, they aren't necessarily flying to their next duty station. I was a PN, meaning I did the paperwork for the command. And, if you DON'T have a POV (Privately Owned Vehicle), then the military will find you a plane ticket. If you go via POV, you get 350 miles/day in travel time.

If you don't have a POV, then the military will provide you with a plane ticket to get to your next duty station. If it is in the continental US, then you only get one day travel time.

I'm guessing that most of these cadets have their own vehicles.

I have known and met many Navy academy grads in my life and never met one that didn't want to attend his or her own graduation....they work their asses off to get to that point....and not one of them wants to do a virtual graduation and miss seeing the president of the United States.....no matter how thick your TDS has become.....

If you don't have a POV, then the military will provide you with a plane ticket to get to your next duty station. If it is in the continental US, then you only get one day travel time.

I'm guessing that most of these cadets have their own vehicles.

OMG...its like arguing two year old....after graduation 90% of them will travel by train plane bus or car I can guarantee you none of them are worried about flying to a graduation ceremony....

Really? You can guarantee that? How many of the cadets do you know?

I have known and met many Navy academy grads in my life and never met one that didn't want to attend his or her own graduation....they work their asses off to get to that point....and not one of them wants to do a virtual graduation and miss seeing the president of the United States.....no matter how thick your TDS has become.....

Too bad that the naval academy already has a virtual graduation planned and it is the army academy we are discussing.

Typical reading skills of a Trump cultist.

Does anyone else think that this is unnecessarily putting our military graduates at risk?

No. I dont. WTF is wrong with you?

They had already been sent back home and were finishing out the year via computer and the internet. They were also scheduled to do a virtual graduation like the Navy did, but because Trump has to have someone to give a speech to, he is calling them back, which means they have to travel through one of the most infected areas in the country. Then, when they get there, they have to be quarantined, then after quarantine, they attend the ceremony. Lots of hassle for no really good reason.
