I do remember that 45 years ago when I was taking the oath as a Commissioned Officer of the U.S. Army I had to swear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and to the Vattel’s Law of Nation because much later when the internet is invented, people will insist that those two documents are the same.
I also remember all of this nonsense on this forum back in 2008.

That is VERY interesting. Was it standard in all the services? Do you have a copy of it? or can you find it in some manual as a requirement at the time? That is exciting. It would establish precedent.
