Anyone serving in the military TODAY must take their constituional oath very seriously because 0bama and many of his hand picked generals and colonels do not. 0bama is clearly usurping the constitution and moving the nation to dictatorship clearly in violation of his oath.
Today’s military must be keenly aware of this situation before signing papers and taking the oath to the constitution. In all likelihood those serving in the army domestically will be directly confronted with the dilemma to obey the constitution or obey illegal orders from their commander who in turn received orders or directives from an illegal dictator.
The military has been placed in a tragic situation; the mission is schizophrenic. The military must defend legitimate threats against China and Russia and a strong military is needed. 0bama is weakening the military’s capacity in this respect which is certainly no fault of the vast majority that serve. However, we now have a dictator that wants to transform the military into a domestic police force to control the people and stifle dissidents. This is the ground where the individual serviceman’s fidelity to the country will eventually be tested. Follow 0bama’s orders and go against the constitution or remain faithful to the country and suffer the consequences.
As far as trusting any individuals under orders is concerned you may want to look at the Stanford prison experiment in the 70s and the Milgrim experiments in the 60s. Or, you can just read the history of 20th century dictatorships.
I would have to say that I have had implicit trust in those that WERE in the military and I believe that those very individuals might indeed be needed to defend this country against the federal government. But as to whether I trust those currently serving in the military, I would have to say that it depends on the individuals fidelity to the constitution.
Loudmouths like yourself easily find excuses not to serve and then to try to diminish the young people who do accept their duty.
You aren't a "conservative"; you're a duty dodger and should stay hidden today while the rest of us remember our losses.
