What is it exactly these guys are asking you to do? Do you even know?

Sign some silly pledge because we should trust them.

Are you willing to do anything to defend our Constitution? ANYTHING?

How about lose my life---is that good enough for you? I'm a US Naval Academy graduate and former Naval officer.

At this point they're asking you to commit to defending the Constitution; nothing more. You got a a problem with that??? Or have you and n00b been attending the same seance and the fog hasn't cleared yet?

Spare us all the petty drama.

A pledge to defend our Constitution is silly? Regardless of who asks, should the answer not be the same?

How about lose my life---is that good enough for you?

So the sticking points are your fortune and/or you sacred honor(if available)? I don't get it.

I'm a US Naval Academy graduate and former Naval officer.

Then you've taken a pledge similar to this one at least once before:

Officer Oath: 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, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

So, when were you let off the hook?

Just as an aside, F'n was also a naval officer.
