“”I can’t even imagine what that ceremony means to someone and having that as a memory is unconscionable,” Bogage said. “
If I was there, that would be one of the best moments of my life.
So help me God to defeat obama and his crowd! Amen!
When did they add THIS to the oath???
“I will obey the orders of the president of the United States.”
I enlisted in 71 and I’m pretty damn sure that wasn’t part of the oath I took.
Sounds like a self serving Obama edit....
“Some people said they found the display inappropriate.”
I find the president to be inappropriate. Oh well!
“However, presidential booing has been known to cross the political aisle.”
GEE! Ya’ THINK?????
Yeah, but Bush didn't have parchment-thin skin like the sociopathic POS that now runs the country (into the ground).
Bush would shrug something like this off with a self deprecating grin. Obama may send somebody out to do his critics harm, and he's just announced that he's "getting real good at killing people".
Here is the corrected version:
During halftime, new members of the Pyongyang National Guard were being sworn in on the field of Memorial Stadium, said team spokesman Chad Moller.
Part of the oath the service members took reads, “I will obey the orders of the Dear Leader of the North Korea.” During a pause after that line was read, members of the crowd could clearly be heard booing and jeering, said LeMari Porter, an MU student present at the game.
MU student Julia Bosley was sitting in the general admission section on the hill during the game. She said she thinks the man standing behind her, who appeared to be a Pyongyang fan was the first to boo.
“He started booing, and then it just sort of spread around the stadium,” Bosley said. “I was sitting with my boyfriend's family, and we all just turned around and looked at him in disbelief.”
Bosley said no one said anything to stop the man, and several people nearby joined in.
Some people said they found the display inappropriate.
Tennessee native Madi Kirk was sitting in the visitors section and heard booing from all sides of the stadium.
“I felt like it was a very serious time and for good reason,” Kirk said. “I thought the booing was disrespectful and that it was the wrong time for it.”
MU sophomore Jacob Bogage echoed that sentiment.
“I can't even imagine what that ceremony means to someone and having that as a memory is unconscionable,” Bogage said.
It would have been informative to have the reporter interview some of the people who completed the oaths and get their “take” on it.
Seems like the standing ovation would make clear the point that it was the reference to the “President” that brought the boo’s - and that the men/women themselves were being honored.
The President, whomever that is, is only a temprary steward of that office...Their policies, orders etc, are the lawful authority any member of the armed services is compelled to carry out...
Now, that being said, the political agenda tha they are responsible for is not something a lot of people can do anything about...Elections are still our ultimate check and balance on this system...That is everyones responsibility to be informed and draw their own conclusions as to what is right and wrong...
Obama is not going to be there much longer, yes, his policies and the effects on us and future generations will be felt for a very long time...
We can only hope to be vigilant, and pass on our values and virtue to future generations...
Show Me State.
Bada boom.
“This is not the first time mid-Missouri has publicly expressed its distaste for President Barack Obama.
This booing at the mention of the president comes less than three months after a rodeo clown in Sedalia mockingly donned a mask of Barack Obama’s face at the Missouri State Fair.”
Some people still don’t understand that the rodeo clown was just doing what has been done at rodeos for a long time.

Many people refuse to distinguish between the Office of The President of The United States and the individual currently occupying that office...Most likely the booing was for the despicable, disgraceful current occupant, and not in disrespect for the office...Hopefully the new recruits understood this, and took no personal offense...
The intention of the Oath of Enlistment is clear...The Constitution takes precedence, and the orders of the President and officers are to be obeyed when and as those orders are lawful and Constitutional...
The President swears his own oath, and is also bound by the supremacy of the Constitution, as are all officers...Enlisted personnel are still (used to be?) assumed and required to refuse un-Constitutional orders...
Conscience has consequences, however, and a soldier may suffer for refusing...But Nuremburg demonstrated that “I was just obeying orders” is not an adequate defense...This was revisited more recently during the trial of Lt. Calley for the My Lai Massacre...
Incidentally, though some of us are a bit “long in the tooth”, there are several million veterans who swore this same oath to the Constitution...We understand the supremacy of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, revere and practice the Second Amendment in it’s original and intended meaning, and will ultimately hold any President and officers to their oaths...
By force of arms, if need be...
