President Joe Biden addressed the graduating class of the West Point military academy, calling them the “guardians of American democracy.”

Speaking to about 1,000 cadets, Biden highlighted the unprecedented threats to US freedom without directly mentioning Donald Trump.

He emphasized that their military oath is to the Constitution, not a political party or president, and urged them to defend key freedoms such as the right to vote, worship, and protest.

Biden acknowledged the complex global challenges the graduates will face, stating they are entering a world with unprecedented demands on the US military, The Guardian has reported.

He reaffirmed the US’s commitment to standing strong with Ukraine against Russian aggression and praised NATO’s strength.

He also commended the military’s efforts in delivering aid to Palestinians and addressing threats posed by China to Taiwan.

Biden’s speech underscored the crucial role of the military in preserving democracy and freedom both at home and abroad.
