Fooled and Co-Opted from Day One:
How the US Military uses the enlistment
 oath to negate loyalty to the Constitution.

Believing they are swearing loyalty to their
 US Constitution, all new recruits raise their
right hands and swear alliance to ‘chuck the constitution’
 and roll on the whims / orders of the US President
 and or the ‘Uniform Code of Military Justice’
an oxymoron if ever there was one…

Research shows that nowhere in ‘Public Service’
, i.e., police, sheriff, district attorney, court system,
 et al. are there such instances in which ‘loyalty
to the constitution’ is pre-empted and or
overridden by the policy of the particular
agency involved.

So, what difference does it make if our sons
and daughters are hoodwinked into negating the
 US Constitution and rushing headlong into
worldwide crisis, politics, and the open use of
our fine Military to procure, obtain, and safeguard
the dark agendas of the ‘Ruling Elite’?  
The answer: ‘Tons’.

To forsake, willingly or not, negate One’s loyalty
 to Our US Constitution is a fraud and or crime
of such immense proportions that to begin to
 chronicle the problems, the crimes, and the deceit
generated – would be best left for open discussion
both public and private.

As the US Constitution along with the Bill of Rights
remains the ultimate source of direction, action,
 and peace of mind – the various ‘military codicils’,
‘presidential dictates’, ‘executive order(s)’, etc.,
 are found to be ‘Null and Void’- period.
And any use of force, coercion, color of law, etc.
 (to negate loyalty to the US Constitution) should
be viewed as a: Capital Crime and subsequently
processed as such.

Federal law requires everyone who enlists or re-enlists in the Armed Forces of the United States to take the enlistment oath. The oath of enlistment into the United States Armed Forces is administered by any commissioned officer to any person enlisting or re-enlisting for a term of service into any branch of the military. The officer asks the person, or persons, to raise their right hand and repeat the oath after him. The oath is traditionally performed in front of the United States Flag and other flags, such as the state flag, military branch flag, and unit guidon may be present.

In the Armed Forces EXCEPT the National Guard (Army or Air)

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

In the National Guard (Army or Air)

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of (STATE NAME) against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of (STATE NAME) and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.

Guide Note: There has been some controversy about whether the phrase "So help me God" is mandatory. I have seen officers allow enlistees to omit these words, if they choose, according to their religious preference and beliefs. While federal law does not appear to make any part of the oath optional (see Title 10, Section 502 of the United States Code), military regulations often do. For example, the Army enlistment regulation (see Army Regulation 601-210, paragraph 6-18) makes the portion "So help me God" optional.

History of the Oath of Enlistment

During the Revolutionary War, the Continental Congress established different oaths for the enlisted men of the Continental Army.

The first oath, voted on 14 June 1775 as part of the act creating the Continental Army, read:

I _____ have, this day, voluntarily enlisted myself, as a soldier, in the American continental army, for one year, unless sooner discharged: And I do bind myself to conform, in all instances, to such rules and regulations, as are, or shall be, established for the government of the said Army.

The original wording was effectively replaced by Section 3, Article 1, of the Articles of War approved by Congress on 20 September 1776, which specified that the oath of enlistment read:

I _____ swear (or affirm as the case may be) to be trued to the United States of America, and to serve them honestly and faithfully against all their enemies opposers whatsoever; and to observe and obey the orders of the Continental Congress, and the orders of the Generals and officers set over me by them.

The first oath under the Constitution was approved by Act of Congress 29 September 1789 (Sec. 3, Ch. 25, 1st Congress). It applied to all commissioned officers, noncommissioned officers and privates in the service of the United States. It came in two parts, the first of which read: "I, A.B., do solemnly swear or affirm (as the case may be) that I will support the constitution of the United States." The second part read: "I, A.B., do solemnly swear or affirm (as the case may be) to bear true allegiance to the United States of America, and to serve them honestly and faithfully, against all their enemies or opposers whatsoever, and to observe and obey the orders of the President of the United States of America, and the orders of the officers appointed over me." The next section of that chapter specified that "the said troops shall be governed by the rules and articles of war, which have been established by the United States in Congress assembled, or by such rules and articles of war as may hereafter by law be established."

The 1789 enlistment oath was changed in 1960 by amendment to Title 10, with the amendment (and current wording) becoming effective in 1962.
