I'm pondering a very important question, which all veterans should consider.
Was my oath to support & defend the Constitution merely part of an employment contract that expired when my active duty ended? Or is it more than that? Is my oath "null and void" simply because I'm no longer getting paid for active service? An oath is a solemn thing, not to be taken lightly.
The Constitution, and the rights it imparts to us as citizens, are in grave peril. I'm not being hyperbolic. The danger is real.
@Possum63 I wish there could be an absolute, but I suspect an oath is a personal thing and having an expiration (so to speak) must be an individual decision. IMHO for those waving the flag about being veterans, they still are beholden to their oaths . How they can support the shenanigans (very understated description) is completely beyond me. And as for myself, first oath in 1984 as I enlisted in the Army and another in 1989 as I got my butter bars. Out in 1999 but still feel I must be faithful
