I am proud to be a Veteran and the oath that I took. This Veteran Marine reminded me of that oath. And here it is:
"I, OldGeekVet, 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."
Congress and President take their own oath. Their oath is the following
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; that I take this obligation freely, with out any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
This current oath was enacted in 1884.
It appears now that those in office are more interested in keeping their positions rather than keeping with the Constitution.
