"A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do."

Unlike President Bone Spurs Mike Pompeo served, and served Honorably. WTF happened? I guess he and Old Orange Stain are perfect examples of the phrase first coined by John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton. Pompeo obviously thinks there's a caveat to his West Point Pledge. That being he's no longer a Cadet and IS now Trump's Toadie. SMDH!

Opinion: Did Secretary Pompeo Forget His West Point Pledge?

 

Mike Pompeo graduated first in his class at West Point in 1986, became a tank commander, went to Harvard Law, became a Beltway lawyer, Kansas businessman, congressman, CIA director and, now, secretary of state.
"There's no doubt West Point impacted who I am," Mr. Pompeo has said. "It has an enormous emphasis, not only on military aspects, but character development. Whether it's the honor code, or the interactions you have ... every place you are is a character test.
In these days of qualifiers and codicils, the West Point honor code is concise and plain: "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do."
U.S. Army officers I've met in wars have told me they carry that code through life.
They've explained that "will not lie" includes what Gen. Maxwell Taylor, who was superintendent of West Point, called "quibbling, evasive statements, or the use of technicalities..."
An officer doesn't find clever ways to avoid telling the truth.  (More from NPR)
