They're trying to break the military. Obama and the like have countless violations against the American people, yet they dissect anything they can to confuse and convince the public of government's ugly deceptions.

Amazing how can you take a perfectly good honorable oath and change it "radically" with just a few "corrections".

“I,_______, having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States in the grade of _______, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the President of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of office upon which I am about to enter; and, if I fail in this, then you can arrest me and shoot me on the spot."

Military officers have many obligations and protecting a President's (any President) political career is not one of them. Many don't know that enlisted personnel and officers take different oaths. I've taken both. Here's the one that Gen McChrystal took: "I,_______, having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States in the grade of _______, do solemnly swear 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; that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of office upon which I am about to enter; SO HELP ME GOD" Just to be clear to some on the left.

George Bush wasn't perfect, but I don't think I remember anyone having to go on 60 minutes to get Bush to listen to them when it came to the war. President thin-skin is all upset because of all the bloggers and Fox News commenting that he should have been taking care of the war and meeting with McChrystal instead of jetting off to Copenhagen with Shelly and Oafrah. Now his minions are taking McChrystal down a peg. Actually, I think Obama should give McChrystal the keys and let him do what he needs to without his approval. What does a lefty like Obama know about war anyway? The answer is less than zero. I don't remember George Bush going out for cheeseburgers with Cheney or flying Laura to Chicago for a date night, or smoking, or having White House dinner parties every Wednesday and serving $100/lb beef...or a number of other idiotic things.

How dare you! Not this administration. Not now. Not when they are this close. Not when they are in the midst of re-inventing America! Then again, it may be true...
