I wouldn't. And I very seriously doubt many would.

The oath they swore when they enlisted or received their commission would prevent them from swearing an oath to Obama.

An attempt to force they to swear an oath would backfire because it is not in the American character to consider an oath extracted under duress as binding. But what forcing them to swear would do is make them realize that their original oath makes resisting Obama a sacred duty. That's the part that reads "...against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

What's more, I very seriously doubt that the Democrat Party leadership would want him to try that, because even mentioning the possibility could be considered an impeachable offense and there is already a large and growing section of the country that is waking up to how disastrous Obama really is.

Hell, a growing segment of the Democrat party has started to realize that despite the fun as they are having now, roughly half the country is NOT happy with what Obama is doing and that a backlash against his socialism is inevitable. Trying to ram a loyalty oath to himself down American throats could have drastically unforeseen consequences.

Oh ... I don't know.

I would say it would have consequences, and they are forseen, and will be very punative for both the presesnt administration, the socialist / communist Democrat & Rinopublican Parties, the courts, and the fourth estate.

“I wouldn’t. And I very seriously doubt many would.”

Lots of people take oaths and break them. Doctors take oaths and then abort or euthanize people, People do business on a hand shake and then turn around and screw you, Senate and Congressman take oaths to serve and then break them. The President just took an oath to uphold the constitution and from were I sit, he is breaking it left and well, Left (there is NO right in him). I could go on but I think you get the idea.

Thats right on ,and I’ve said on another thread, It would be hard to cnvince our troops to go against thier families.
Most our soldiers are the sons and daughters of conservatives, as the libs don’t like the military.
In a time of revolution inside our own nation, we would call them home to help our cause, and to bring hardware with them.

I don't think they see things the way you and I do. If you have some evidence the rats think a backlash is coming, I am willing to be convinced.
