“I served in the US Army so that you could vote, or not vote, for whomever you choose and I stand by that. I was never released from my oath to this country.
‘I, _____, 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.’”
I took the same enlisted oath forty years ago and also served honorably. A decade later on took the Officer’s oath and faithfully served in that capacity. Don’t attempt to wrap yourself in a flag, you aren’t the only veteren here.
Bottom line is you need to stop peddling “surrender monkey sophistry” that is attempting to tyranize me or others into accepting Horse Manure (Romney) or Pig Manure (Obama).
I speak to you sternly this way, because I think YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT!
Please show me where I demanded that you vote for Mitt Romney or anyone else in any election. Or where I “tyranized” (sic) you into doing anything. I merely posted an article by a Tea Party member that postulated that not voting for the Romney/Ryan ticket gets you Obama/Biden for another term. And what’s with going crying to the site owner? One would think that a former military or naval officer could stand on their own two feet without getting “daddy” involved in your squabbles. Someone as much as called my a queer yesterday for posting a thread from the homosexual perspective to illustrate the absurdity of their argument. Did I go running to Jim? I hardly ever ping him unless I see an article he might be interested in. He’s not my father. Is he yours?
