Trump attacks past US policy in speech to new Army officers

On Saturday, President Donald Trump gave a campaign-style speech to graduating Army officers at West Point, criticizing past US policies.
Trump delivered blistering rhetoric partly because he blames US leaders for dragging the military into long wars after 9/11 and mistrusting historic alliances.

West Point philosophy professor Graham Parsons resigned, expressing shame and criticizing the institution for compromising its fundamental values to align with the White House's ideological expectations.
