(1,107 posts)Every single one of us who served took that oath!!! When I finished my enlistment nobody sent me any paperwork that said, "Thanks for playing, now that you are no longer formally associated with the United States Coast Guard the oath you took when you enlisted is no longer binding."
Any of us who took that oath took it for LIFE. Oaths are serious business, if you break them you have given up your honor. Without honor what are you? As far as I'm concerned any veterans in that crowd should be reactivated and court martialed. You think state and federal prisons are fun, you haven't really lived until you've spent some time in a Navy brig or an Army stockade. I was a hospital corpsman and at one of my duty stations I was detailed to hold sick call for the Coasties who were in a Navy brig. The marines guarding that place treated me like cr*p, what they did to the actual detainees was much worse.
You chose to break your oath, you pay the price.
