Funny, but the oath I took in 1967 didn't say anything about international law or the UN..
"...support and defend the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic. To obey the orders of my Commander in Chief and the officers appointed above me"...
or something like that...
Not a damn syllable was devoted to international law!
They had some retired colonel (female) supporting him on one of the FNN shows earlier this afternoon. Someone else had his father on the phone. Positively nauseating. Additionally, there were protestors by Ft. Shafter this afternoon with signs aimed at soldiers coming on and off post to the effect of "Your Boss Tortures Prisoners." My husband gave them the appropriate salute for such occasions.
