To: Logic n' Reason

Not that I agree that we should be bombing Libya at this point in time, I do want to point out that Airforce pilots are Officers and do not take an oath to obey orders like the non commissioned service members.

“I, (full name) having been appointed a (rank), United States Air Force, 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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter, SO HELP ME GOD.”

Interesting. Thanks for the rest of the story.

I, personally, could never swear to the oath to obey orders in an absolute sense. Maybe 98% of the time, but not 100..
