Military Oath of Enlistment

All enlisted personnel in the United States military must make the following oath of office when they enlist in the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy or U.S. Marine Corps:

“I, (state your name), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foriegn 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.”

Commissioned officers take the Oath of Office, rather than the Oath of Enlistment.

    I fear that the current president will attempt to eliminate all reference to the defense of our Constitution, in order to weaken the military, and subvert its purpose to his own.
    I am afraid of this president. (July 2009)

    The military would be well within its rights and duties to step in and take over the current adminstration and most of congress and detain and or punish or both. I am afraid that if the military does not step in we will be in for a hell of a really EFF’d up ride.

    Henry LaRose in a very high-ranking member in good standing, by their standards, of the Ku Klux Klan, so his comment is understandable.
