In the event that the new administration embarks on a campaign of egregious violations of that same document, what are you willing to do to fulfill your oath?
I take it debating Orwell, however [mis]quoted or paraphrased is not a priority in that event.
You need to be more specific. You need to tell me what this hypothetical constitutional violation is. You and I live in a country that has been violating the Constitution almost every day for most of our lives. Hell, it can be argued (not necessarily by me) that Dubya probably did it with this war.
The last CW was over rebellion. An attempt to Balkinize North America over the right to own human beings for profit. By people trying to break up the United States.
In that case, doing anything but fighting for the United States would have been a violation of my oath.
But lets not get off on a tangent. I don't want this to devolve into a "the CW was not about slavery".
Sticking to the larger point, you forget FRiend that the oath we are discussing also says "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."
That POTUS would be Obama and God would be listening.
