So when are they gonna fulfill their oath?
If I remember correctly, everyone in every branch of the Armed Forces takes an oath to UPHOLD AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Now, I realize that in the lower ranks, questioning orders only gets you in a lot of trouble and any noise made gets hushed up real quickly...
But what about the higher ranks...Generals and such?
I'm almost positive that the oath didn't just mean protecting the actual physical parchment on which it was penned (but what with a certain person's attitude, this may become necessary too).
So...the spirit of your oath is to protect our Constitution...which is in grave danger of total evisceration and obliteration.
It's bleeding pretty badly as is...so, Sirs and Ma'ams...WHEN are you going to fulfill your oath?

Damn. I'm getting deafened by all these crickets chirping.

1. The Congresscritters also take an oath they are the ones to call
The Pres and the Judges all take oaths to protect the constitution.
I too would like to know when they will begin.

2. Smirk took that oath too, as I recall.
I'm pretty sure he was lying. Can we impeach him yet?
