... which everyone who wears a uniform takes.

NOW THEY WANT US TO DEFEND ISRAEL when they won't allow us to honor the oaths we have already taken, while they slip in new demands.

At some point in the fall of 1965, I told my dad I planned to enlist in the USAF as a medic. First, this WW II veteran told me he didn't want me to enlist at all. Then he said if you do enlist, you will be taking an OATH to support and defend the U.S.
Constitution.....THAT IS A LIFE TIME OATH, and don't ever forget that.

I haven't forgotten his words. Or my oath.

And all this from an individual in the Oval Office who admits to having four, or is it five, deferments because his daddy had money. Oh, and of course, he is a coward.

USAF 1965 -1969, helping to re-cooperate Vietnam wounded who, in those years, the wounds were flown to the nearest military hospital that could handle their wound AND so their families could visit.
