Air Force Academy Cadets Don’t Know What Their Oath to the Constitution Means

U.S. Air Force Academy cadets reportedly don’t understand what the oath they take to uphold the Constitution even means. Apparently, the U.S. military is so busy implementing pro-LGBTQ initiatives and critical race theory programs that it forgot to teach cadets what their job is as American servicemen and women.

The Daily Caller reported on April 12:

The Air Force Academy rolled out a new program aimed at reducing perceptions of politicization in the military… Cadets at the academy said they did not understand what their oath to uphold the Constitution actually meant… Administrators and a cadet at the Air Force Academy think a new program focused on informing cadets what the oath to uphold the Constitution means for members of the military will help combat trends in politicization and partisanship among military officials.

It might be too little too late to restore Americans’ faith in a military headed by our senile commander-in-chief Joe Biden, Gen. Mark “Wreck-It Ralph” Milley, and the ever-incompetent Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Daily Caller again:

The project aims to instill a “democracy ethos” in emerging Air Force officers as politicization and partisanship in the active duty force and among veterans has colored Americans’ view of the military.

Let’s hope the program’s concept of democracy isn’t similar to that of the anti-constitutional and very woke Democrats, who never stop blathering about “democracy.” And maybe the Academy could mention that America has always been a republic, not a democracy.

I, I, I.........

All part of the leftist plan.

How many of us can sing along with the Black National Anthem without consulting our index card cheat sheet?

All of us have things lacking in our education. /S

[butlerweave]

but they rattle off all the pronouns etc ,LOL

[MtnClimber]

I am lacking education. I don’t know the radical thug national anthem.

This all reminds me of the witch in The Silver Chair after the prince breaks free and she attempts to cloud their minds to convince them that Narnia really does not exist.

So now there really is no Constitution. CRT is not political.

[simpson96]

Nothing - nothing, is sacred to liberals.

I am reminded of how Ted Kennedy once told someone about an Anullment in the family, "It's just a bunch of Catholic gobbldygook".

I used to attend each year’s university honoring of Martin Luther King Day including speeches, gospel songs, poetry and educational sessions in breakout classrooms.

I first the Black National Anthem before a US Representative and council member were introduced.

Note:
Often referred to as “The Black National Anthem,” Lift Every Voice and Sing was a hymn written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900. His brother, John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954), composed the music for the lyrics.

I bet that they chug a case of Butt Lite for their fraternity initiation.

Then they are already for Congress, the White House, or to be a Dem appointee to the Supreme Court.

Republican Court members must, at minimum, have known what the Oath meant before they are allowed to break it.

We do have standards for our government officials.

I well remember that when I swore to the oath of Enlistment, I was taken by the phrase of “...All Enemies, Foreign And Domestic..”. Keep in mind that I had just turned 18 and was very much “wet behind the ears”. Over the years, the DemocRAT Party made me fully realize just what those words really meant.

No wonder these Communist RAT Bastards do not want our Military to fully understand and appreciate what their real purpose and function is.

Shitcan the entire leadership cadre replace them with grade school civics teachers

[MtnClimber]

Now the Black National Anthem has become the National Black Liberation Theology anthem where Black Communism is pushed and white people are to be eradicated and their “stuff” taken away. The anthem may have started with honarable goals, but now it is a black-communist anthem.

[Chode]

[frank ballenger]

Absolutely.

Old genuine National Anthem: for all Americans of all types.

This one: Just for “us.” Others need not apply.

[mware]

Have a friend whose son graduated from the academy. In four years he slept in his bed once. The last day of his final year.

[Hieronymus]

I can’t imagine that means what I imagine it to mean.

A gal I could see, just barely—but a guy???

When my grandfather enlisted in the Navy, you couldn’t even get married unless you were an officer.

Now in the airforce, you don’t even need to get married from the word go?

An officer and a cad.

[Edison]

It should be taught before they enter the Academy. We don’t want any second thoughts about upholding the Constitution.

[ridesthemiles]

4-H members know more, apparently

[BillT]

Neither do our elected Federal congress critters!
