72. The military is sworn to serve the Constitution, not the pres

Edited on Sat Dec-03-05 12:20 PM by justabob

Well, actually I think the grunts' oath has a phrase about the president but the officers oath doesn't. Someone posted the two not too long ago.

edit: Given that the Constitution is the priority, I believe it would be ok for the military to 'capture' the president and cabinet or whoever was threatening the Constitution. What the military does after that, is where the trouble lies.
