01
How would adding 'Duty, Honor, Country' to West Point's mission statement substantively change cadet training or institutional practices beyond the wording itself?
02
What evidence exists that the current West Point mission statement has failed to instill these values, and what prompted this legislative intervention now?
03
Should Congress mandate specific language in military academy mission statements, or is this appropriately left to Department of Defense and West Point leadership?
