When I enlisted in the Air Force, I swore to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; [and] that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same."

Note that I didn't bear true faith and allegiance to the United States, but to the Constitution of the United States.

Thanks for letting us know that point. Thanks for your service.

Police officers swear to uphold the constitution and yet during Hurricane Katrina they trampled all over the 2nd and 14th amendments. Some did so because they were ordered by their superiors and others because they could get away with it and no one was there to stop them. I have yet to hear of any time where an officer refused to follow those orders because they were unconstitutional. In fact there are still illegal gun confiscations going on in NO.

I'm wondering if some of those that left the force and never returned did so because they were totally disgusted by the orders they were given and refused to carry them out.
