“ 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.”

It will be the greatest speech ever in the history of West Point speeches, given by the greatest speech giver ever to occupy the White House, because he has the best words. He’s the best speech giver in the United Shtates.

SFC Herve Abrams - Thank you for making me laugh. I think he will say I am your CIC and I am a military genius due to JROTC. ISIS is defeated under my watch. The stock market and economy will become the best again. We thought we would have 100,000 die from COVID-19 but it's only at 60,000. I have done really well as your president. I hope some of you will go into the Space Force!

Ahh lifelong honor... Now it might be a substantially shorter life for them, their families and anyone else they come in contact with, but hey what are you going to do?

SFC Herve Abrams - A month of quarantine for a two hour speech - that's a great use of time and resources.

We know the NYT opinion of this, bet the graduating class feels differently. To anyone but a rabid CINC hater, this would be a lifetime honor.

MCPO Roger Collins I answered your question. Yes, it would be an honor.
Now, is that honor worth the potential cost in life, resources and time? I say no. What about you? Is it worth it?
Your sarcasm came across pretty much as a statement. Or is "sarcasm" the new defense for "caught making things up"? Seems to be going around. Do you all get these talking points sent to you by email? Is it daily? Or weekly?

MAJ Bryan Zeski My question, again, was how you would have felt about when you graduated from West Point. Ang again, if you are too dumb to believe that was a serious comment, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. No talking points necessary, I already know how you feel about your CINC. Hope it doesn’t catch up with you.

MCPO Roger Collins I answered the question.
Also, what is your obsession with hurling insults? That's the refuge of someone who can't make a rational argument to defend their position. It's middle school mentalily. You're better than that.
I do like how you dodged every question I asked. Again.

MCPO Roger Collins Also, no need to BS me. I have no doubt you DO hope "it catches up" to me. But, there's nothing to catch-up. I'm well within my rights to have an opinion and express it as I have.
