The oath for enlisted military personnel repeats the preceding affirmation, I 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 concludes with, "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." The enlisted oath creates a conflict; who ever expected a President of the United States to be the prime domestic enemy?

enlisted oath creates a conflict The officer's oath, when honored, removes the possibility of a conflict. The enlisted personnel carry out any order they receive without questioning the orders constitutionality. The job of determining constitutionality is the job of the officers.
