West Point Code and Caste in the Army Debate
Westbrook Pegler argues that public opinion on caste in the American army will sour if officers fail to uphold the West Point code of honor. He cites officers as generally moral, laments political influence during World War II, recalls cadet discipline, and warns that abandoning the code would corrupt the army and degrade the officer corps. He calls to abolish caste, have generals publicly perform basic duties, and for Congress to restore balance to protect enlisted soldiers.
