When you stand by Regardless of who gives the order, (Biden,Harris) ...
You have No obligation to follow/obey illegal orders that allow the invasion of our country!
I feel the same about police forces, judges, lawyers etc. etc.
"I, _____, do 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 that 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."
I have always held that if I swear to something, if I take a formal oath with my hand held upright, it means something. It isn't just words. It has to mean something. This is how I was raised.
So, we take that oath when we enlist, and we never repudiate it.
So, when I see a veteran coming out in support of any Democrat, in the same way Benedict Arnold could not expect to retain any respect once he threw in with the British, I maintain patriots are wholly justified in withdrawing any semblance of respect for those who took this oath of enlistment.
It isn't that we withdraw respect because we simply disagree with these veterans. Disagreement is one thing, and if any person out there has earned the right to disagree, it is veterans, most especially those who have served in combat.
But this is NOT disagreement. This is about something more fundamental than a disagreement of policy, this is about people who openly subvert and seek to destroy the Constitution. Years ago, supporting a Democrat may have meant you were at best simply wrong, and at worst, a dumb ass. But there are wrong people and dumb asses everywhere who are not domestic enemies of the Constitution.
This Democrat Party, these Leftists, are speaking openly of eliminating the First and Second Amendment. Am I wrong here? I have heard them voice those sentiments. Am I mistaken? They want to eliminate the Electoral College.
They have weaponized government, and sided with our enemies. They openly accept that the Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff (Milley) had unauthorized communications with a country that, for all intents and purposes, we are at war with, and those communications were deliberately meant to sabotage and undercut the Commander In Chief. And he retired with full honors and a pension, with full approval of the Democrat Party.
They are flaunting legally passed federal legislation on immigration, and choosing not to enforce it because they disagree with it.
Likewise with the recent threat of a Longshoremen's strike, where the President of The United States said he would not enforce the Taft-Hartley Act because "he didn't agree with it". Flat out said it.
If these people went through the legal process to change the Constitution, I would disagree with them, but it would be a...disagreement. People who want to change the Constitution are not Domestic Enemies of the Constitution, but Americans who think something should be changed and are going through the prescribed process to try to change it. I can accept that.
But they are not trying to change the Constitution by amending it. They are subverting the Constitution by openly ignoring it, basically saying as Andrew Jackson did when he ignored the Supreme Court ruling in Worcester v. Georgia (1832) that ruled States did not have the right to impose laws on Native American lands, Jackson allegedly said, “John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it.”
It is that mindset we see today when the Supreme Court rules it is unconstitutional for the President to nullify Student Loans the way he tried to do it, and...he (and the Democrat Party) are simply ignoring it.
IGNORING THE CONSTITUTION.
In that light, can there be any doubt that supporting the Democrat Party is supporting the deliberate destruction of the Constitution, and thus, a repudiation of their oath of enlistment?
I understand this is somewhat of a third rail, and many veterans may not wish to weigh in on this for personal reasons, but if someone can tell me I am wrong, I am open to argument here.
I knew a Vietnam vet(He’s passed away now) who used to vote democrat. I couldn’t figure it out. Hanoi Jane supports democrats, and despite what she did in Vietnam, he still supported the party.
Am I missing something??? What displayed on that sign leads one to assume it’s referring to Trump or any other Republican?
They get their money from the government and will do what they’re told.
That will override any patriotic impulses out of the military sector.
One is either with us or against us. Not much else matters.
There is patriots and there is traitors.
I give default respect to anyone who has served. In the absence of any indication that the person might not be deserving of respect, they get it, no questions asked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That’s more than I give.
Most servicemen and women are doing a job no different than those in the private sector.
"Dirty Josey" Benson's husband [Michigan] is one of them.
My belief is that they're getting training on how to deal with us Deplorables.
Make sure you train, too.
I have begun calling the people that support The Boxers Lamprey Puppet “kamunists” or “kammunists”.
These people are different.
These are the ones we served with that were always at sick call.
They never read the TMs and never knew anything. Stood to the side or got us the screwdrivers we asked for when fixing stuff.
There are a lot of losers in the military. I met a lot of them.
The trouble with the new America is, most Republicans AREN’T Republicans and a large majority of VETERANS THESE DAYS AREN’T VETERANS. Liars are a dime a dozen in America. Personally, I don’t trust anybody anymore.
West Point recently graduated an avowed Commie and then refused FOIA requests sent regarding the student’s current status and punishment.
Tells you all you need to know, I think. Obviously, the officers and civilians running it and teaching there sympathize, otherwise that little sh¡t would have been out on his tail.
These people exist everywhere. I work with a Mavy vet (submariner) who is so appalled at the idea of voting for Trump that he brings it up pretty often. He’s around sixty.
It’s near impossible to accept that some people beg to lick the boot that stomps them. It gives them meaning.
I’ve never been relieved of my oath since August of 1967 when my dad swore me in. The oath may need revised to read “...enemies foreign or democratic....”. I know quite a few vets that have swallowed the kool aid. Zero respect.
If that veteran is voting for a democrap then it is both a sucker and a loser.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
Samuel Adams
I sympathize. However, I don’t want to be someone who denies others the right of having their own opinion.
That’s a dark and dirty road which others have walked before. I know enough not to follow them.
agree
We freeped “Vietnam Veterans against the War” for years outside Walter Reed. Some people regard a political party as a religion or a home town sports team. Win or lose, they can’t change. Treason and sedition? Having a bad year.
