The Hippocratic Oath is also gone in the Obola’s America.
The only oath allowed in the military
is to the undocumented Moslem Tyrant,
not the Constitution,
with a promise to destroy America for the Tyrant,
when the Tyrant or Saudi Arabia or Iran commands.
I am not clear on this.
In a court of law, can a witness omit taking the oath before giving testimony?
Can a witness refuse to place his/her hand on the Bible?
Before you jump all over this...prior to 2013....for decades...the Air Force offered two options (one with the God phrase, and one without). Something or someone decided to flip the rule in 2013.
Strangely enough, because you’d sit and think about things like this...the Marines, Army, and Navy DID NOT flip the rule, and continue to run the decades-long option of oath options.
While AF press guys may indicate that a Pentagon review reversed this...what you may want to consider is that the Pentagon began to ask...why the heck did you guys change this back in 2013, and not consult us then? Who made this decision and why? And I think the AF just stood there grinning and avoiding to answer that it was one of those Friday-night decisions that someone makes and shocks everyone on Monday with a deed already done.
In the 1980s, I flew B-52s in the USAF, and while on staff duty, was assigned to the Services Squadron.
Due to an the commander of the Squadron getting into an accident and medevaced down to Texas, I was acting Squadron Commander for about 3 weeks. During that time, we had a re-enlistment.
Roughly 40 troops. Three Atheists and a Christian Scientist “affirmed”, rather than swore, and ended the oath with “On My Honor”. Perfectly acceptable at the time, even documented.
I also had a Muslim, two Buddhists, and three Asatru, who ended with “I swear to Allah”, “so help me Buddha”, and “My oath to Odin”.
All were perfectly acceptable and documented as such.
I also knew of Wiccans and other religions who had no problems swearing oaths to THEIR deities, by name. Not sure what the problem is now, but the USAF policy that just came down WAS the policy in the 1980s. . . .
Article 2, section 1 of the US Constitution regarding the President:
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation: — “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
Not your or my father’s Air Force
The Air Force has led the way on anti Christian political correctness. Meanwhile the vacuum has been filled with scandals, cheating and immorality. What a shock. Nothing they don’t deserve for their actions.
