1. >West Point Association of Graduates President and CEO Mark Bieger announced the cancellation in a faculty email on Friday, claiming the decision will better enable West Point to “focus on its core mission of preparing cadets to lead, fight, and win as officers in the world’s most lethal force, the United States Army.”

   An award ceremony was preventing their mission?

   Is the Army that soft and mentally slow now that an award ceremony would distract them?

   They really shouldn’t be broadcasting that if true

2. Imagine cancelling Tom Hanks.

3. I love Tom Hanks 👠🏓🪖…long live Tom Hanks ❤️

4. Obediently following the orders of their MAGA idol. In military life there’s never anything called an illegal order, regardless what atrocities may occur, if he says it. If held accountable sometime in the future for anything they do just count on hearing the Nuremberg defence.

5. Is enjoying the filmography of Tom Hanks woke now?

6. Jesus my mind jumped to Tom having done something heinous to cancel him 😰/😮‍💨

7. So Kid Rock instead? Or Snoop Dog?

8. It used to be a big deal, looked on with respect, when a young person in your community got accepted to West Point. Now with WP leadership leaning into all these hateful regressive MAGA policies, I just side eye anyone celebrating their kid’s acceptance there.

9. Now who is practicing cancel culture?

10. The president of the usa is a huge piece of shit.

11. this isn’t the onion? bro…what did Tom Hanks do?

12. JFK! This man, along with Spielberg, was the driving force behind The Band of Brothers, The Pacific and the god damn World War II Memorial in DC.

    It just pains them knowing that a democrat has spent more time and money remembering and honoring the Greatest Generation and their sacrifices than the supposed patriotic party.

13. Fucking pussies!

14. “The Pentagon also reinserted a portrait of Gen. Robert E. Lee into the West Point library in late August, according to the New York Times. In light of the decision, the Army’s communications director, Rebecca Hodson, said, “Under this administration, we honor our history and learn from it — we don’t erase it.””

    Ah, so they’re going to teach the cadets that Lee was a traitor and should have been executed at the end of the war. Right?

15. I always thought the whole thing about the military was to not turn young people into mindless killers, but disciplined, principled thoughtful people who have the skills to reintegrate into society. This new Department of war is going to produce a generation of psychopathic killers who will one day be released onto the streets and expected to fit into a world they are not prepared for.

16. I don’t usually care about Movie drama but no one hurts my Greek brother!

    PS. Everyone that says he isn’t Greek lies. Just ask him.

17. This is the dumbest fucking timeline.

18. No fascism here folks, move along. Go home.

19. Heaven forbid we have an educated and worldly officer corps leading our military. Hegseth wants a legion of armchair generals cosplaying like some sort of Gravy Seals.

20. Imagine that, West Point caving to the whims of a draft dodger. Pathetic.

21. So many people, groups, and institutions scared of this jackass.

22. Stupid is as stupid does.

23. So much for the harder right

24. Fuck and You West Point Assholes of Graduates

25. So a Draft Dodger now determines what happens at West Point.

26. They really took it personally he hasn’t been in a good film in 20 years wow

27. I truly don’t get this.

28. *decision will better enable West Point to “focus on its core mission of preparing cadets to lead, fight, and win as officers in the world’s most lethal force, the United States Army.”*

    The president they serve is a draft dodger that called vets suckers and losers.

29. The dude literally saved Private Ryan

30. Fuck those assholes. Why would he want that orange tainted award anyway?

31. They took Trevor Moore’s song seriously.

32. This is the same university that has given us Wesley Hunt, an anti American graduate and grifter.

33. so ashamed of West Point- what message does this send to the graduates? wish we had Hanks in the White House instead of Trump. then we would be seeing some moral values for a change.

34. Its a big club and we ain’t in it

35. There will be a day of reckoning for these WH Criminals.
    FDT and his complicit MAGA traitors. FDT

36. Tom Hanks is a proud supporter of the Democratic Party. He also publicly backed both Obama and Biden in their campaigns for POTUS.

    These factors likely sealed the deal, as everyone is aware that Trump is highly involved with West Point.

37. They canceled on Tom Hanks!? Damn, that’s kind of eye opening…

    That makes me think so much more of Tom Hanks
