Ping!

I served under Nixon and Carter...

I swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States and to obey those in command over me all the wayh to the top ...the Commander-in-Chief...

Both Nixon and cater were born in the United States to US citizen parents...

They were Americans, over the age of 35 and I guess they fulfilled the 14 year residency thingy...

I didnt vote for either...

I was not yet an American citizen when Nixon ran for re election...

And I refused to vote for Democrat Jimmy Carter when I was...

I was never faced with this unthinkable travesty...

Who woulda thunk ????

Thanks for the ping Albion. First, I have not read the comments on the thread so may be repeating.

The soldiers take an oath to the nation. If we all recall, just awhile back there was talk that Obama was going to change that and have the Military pledge its oath to the President!!

Haven't heard more on that.

Thanks

I enjoyed reading the thread so far.

Yes, I know one Arlington resident who would be very upset by this development. I often think he would be so very upset by recent events in this country.
