1 / 11West Point cadets hug each other at the end of graduation ceremonies at the United States Military Academy, Saturday, May 25, 2019, in West Point, N.Y. WEST POINT, N.Y. — Vice President Mike Pence told the most diverse graduating class in the history of the U.S. Military Academy on Saturday that the world is"a dangerous place" and they should expect to see combat.
More than 980 cadets became U.S. Army second lieutenants in the ceremony at West Point's football stadium. Pence spoke as the U.S. plans to send another 1,500 troops to the Middle East to counter what the Trump administration describes as threats from Iran; as the longest war in U.S. history churns on in Afghanistan; and as Washington considers its options amid political upheaval in Venezuela. The administration is also depending more heavily on the military to deter migrants from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
