I;ve read your profile. I understand your frustration, and, to some extent, your despair. But, I disagree with you that we cannot fight the left with any hope of winning. The conventional wisdom of the time said the same thing about our Founding Fathers, that they were leading a rag tag group of misfits, wholly incapable of fighting, much less defeating, the greatest miltary force in the world at that time. Well, the Founders proved the pundits wrong.

As for having to fight the US military, please remember that when we raised our hand and took the oath when we joined the US military (for me, many, many years ago) our sworn allegiance was to the US Constitution: It was not to whatever party or administration happened to be in power. Contemporary US troops take the same oath: Their allegiance is to the US Constitution. As such, I feel confident that a good number of US troops, and many officers, will join in the struggle against the left’s tyranny.

Don’t go wobbly! Fight the good fight!

And, God forbid, even if we do not win, we will go down fighting, as true patriots, because it is much better to die on one’s feet than to live on one’s knees.

You are absolutely right. That is why, I believe, the loyalty to the constitution is the first part of the oath, before even the president. Not only that, we are sworn to defend it against all enimies, both foriegn and domestic.


In the Armed Forces EXCEPT the National Guard (Army or Air)

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) 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.
