Not just the military, but agencies such as the FBI, DHS, IRS, CDC and others. The violations of individual rights are currently staggering.

The oath of office requires an officer to obey the LAWFULL orders of those appointed above. However, the burden of proof that an order is not lawful will generally be on the individual.

It's so much worse than any of us imagined...

I changed my affiliation to the Constitution Party because that is the last politically party that aligns with my indefinitely binding oath I took as a Navy officer. Nowhere is there any obligation to obey the orders of those over you. Your obligation is to support the Constitution. Period. But God help any active-duty officer that adheres to the below oath (especially today), because he/she will not find help elsewhere.

It’s Your Military Officer Oath of Office

I (name) do solemnly swear (or affirm)…: Signifies a public statement of commitment, where you personally accept complete and total responsibility for your decisions and actions.

…that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States…: You are not swearing to support the President, the Country, the flag, a political party, or a particular service branch. But rather, the Constitution is what you’re swearing an oath to, which symbolizes all of those things. Therefore, it’s important you actually read it! Have you read the Constitution lately, or ever?

…against all enemies, foreign and domestic;..: We must always be prepared for current and future wartime operations, kinetic or otherwise, at home and abroad. (Service Before Self, with yourself fully ready)

…that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;..: Officers pledge allegiance to the Constitution empowering the citizenry, and not a military service branch, government, or organization. (It’s service to our Nation’s Ideas before Self)

…that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;…: Your word is your bond! Without integrity the moral pillar of any core value is lost.

…and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter.: Promise to give the effort your all. (Anything worth doing is worth overdoing)

So help me God (optional): This signifies truth and commitment to what you have sworn to. It is a higher call to a divine agency. It assists in ensuring your own integrity and honesty for your oath.

By the way, when the Nuremberg war crimes trials, involving genocide, in which the defendants infamously relied on the defense that they were only obeying orders occurred never is presented the fact that Hitler removed the oath for a loyalty to the state and substituted an oath to obey him.
