Easy decision? Heck no, but whoever said it would be easy? But that is what you swear to do. Against All Enemies, which could someday, include a usurper.
“Hmm, then why did they make us swear an oath to support and defend the Constitution?”

Google Michael New for a similar story. He ended up being shitcanned in about fifteen minutes. He got his fifteen minutes of fame and a website out of it though
"I, _____, do solemnly swear 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; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United StatesB/U> and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
