   >Yes.  Because that is the most important thing.   
      
   Which is why I mentioned it.   
      
   >But if you're going to say the oath of office says something, you   
   >should be accurate.   
      
   Here is the version I posted. As far as I know, it is accurate.   
   Please feel free to post your own. If it is any different, I am   
   sure we will all know soon enough.   
      
                         -=begin=-   
      
   The wordings of the current oath of enlistment and oath for   
   commissioned officers are as follows:   
      
   "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend   
   the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and   
   domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and   
   that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and   
   the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations   
   and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."   
      
   I have one question for every commissioned officer in this land.   
   Just one -   
      
   "Do you intend to obey illegal orders from the President?"   
      
                           -=end=-   
      
   The Constitution is noted first in my copy. I do pray it is the   
   same with yours.   
      
   Oath (or Affirmation) of Office for President -   
      
   "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute   
   the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best   
   of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the   
   United States." - Article II, Section 1   
      
   Nothing else is stated.   
      
   You have publicly stated that you are (or have been) a commissioned   
   officer. The president is commander-in-chief, which is a military rank.   
   IOW, the president is your superior. Your CO, or commanding officer.   
      
   Your CO has given you an order to shoot, with live ammo, other   
   Americans. Do you comply? Even if those other Americans are just   
   young black kids stealing shoes from department stores.   
      
   This very situation happened in New Orleans after Katrina.   
   Fortunately for those young black kids, General Honor‚ refused   
   to comply with his CO's request.   
      
   Today's officers have no balls, as shown by their recent actions.

   If we don't get it / Shut it down!
