The professional warriors that will not let any indignity interfere with their desire to kill the enemy and keep us free. They got spit on and were called baby-killers after returning from Nam and kept on plugging. They will function despite the assault on them and their comrades by those who endeavor to debilitate them by making them a big social experiment. Their hearts and minds stay true and they will not falter. Their success is derived from God and their Hearts which will not be dominated.
One - the best supervisor I ever had in my time in the Navy was an Army SSGT back when I worked for a NATO command in Naples, Italy.
Two - I liked mostly what the newly retired COL wrote but I have always considered this the most important part of the oath - ...I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic... He is correct though that there is no expiration date and just because you retire or discharge does'nt mean you are no longer bound to it.
Thank you for your service, Sarge.
The same who alter the ROE to not attack the enemy?
The same who award themselves ARCOM's for trolling Facebook for politically-incorrect speech?
Who openly recruit for the Crips and Bloods in the barracks?
The same who allow bull-queers in the ranks and dare anyone who defies them?
Once again, as in the days of the Hollow Army in the 70's, to the Reign of Terror from '93-'00, my service is being socially engineered to death. They're not concerned with killing the enemy (unless the enemy is their fellow American citizens...)
