At what moment does the US military separate itself from the government when thinking the Soldiers creed and oath of enlistment ?

Above all the constitution should be protected because it prescribes democracy and how it is maintained. It defines the roles and responsibilities of the three branches of the government. It also illuminates the election process.

Excellent question. I was trained to disobey unlawful orders to maintain order, discipline, and protect and defend Americans, America, and the constitution.

Where is the line? At what level will said decision be made? More great and scary questions. We saw 50+ generals "retire" under our last democrat president. And our nations dedication to "moral relativism" shifts and blurs the "right/wrong" line weekly.

I'm retired. So I will pray for our professionals in uniform for wisdom, courage, and persaverance. And consider them each time I vote.

I think it should have already. The military should not even be at the capitol. They were not called out to protect the people from Anitifa and BLM riots while cities burned.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Sir I wish that you had shown the same courtesy in yours and mine discussions about President Trump. I need not remind you of what was said and how unfair your accusations of President Trump were. But I do agree with your Comments to SGT Cody Thompson, they were fair and very respectful to both side of the isle and supporters and non supporters. the only thing I think would help would read and think about what is being said before you reply with knee jerk reactions to others questions and posting, I am not perfect either, but before I answer anybody I try to think about what's being said and try not to answer with knee jerk reactions and I try to deliver a response or answer to comments and or posting that apply or formulate around what was asked or posted instead of veering off on something way off of the subject, Sir all I'm asking is take your time and thoroughly read what's being asked or posted I do know that some of our conversations would have been less heated if we both would have taken that pause to read and think about our responses.
thanks Sir

I remember when I was serving in RA some discussions under some lonely conditions. They were gut wrenching conversations with no answers.

Unless I've gone brain dead the oath I took was to prorect the Constution against all enrmies both foreign and domestic.

I live by this creed and my oath.. I will support and defend the US Constitution, I will abide by order from my superiors... as long as they are NOT immoral, illegal, and unconstitutional. And I will abide by NO orders issued by anyone outside my chain of command like Congressman or Senators.
IF, IF for example, they come for the 2nd Amendment, I will NOT abide at all.. and in fact if it comes to it, I will literally uphold my oath to defend the Constitutional Rights therein.
3/4 of the people in this country own firearms.. A political and biased congress and senate does NOT represent that and in fact, right now as far as I am concerned, are all as corrupt as the year is long.
Today the government in power, is NOT the government we should have... They have corrupted and nearly destroyed the intent of the founders for this Republic in the last 70 years.. From using EO's to quietly passing laws that strip away rights by word playing, from holding power to two parties and more, I very much doubt this country will continue many more years without a reset.... civil war or revolution against this corruption...
For those that have studied and know history, you know this is NOT at all what the founders wanted... and if you don't believe that, go READ the federalist documents and personal letters of the founders.. it will make it VERY clear what the intent was and is.

Good thing I asked this question out of curiosity. Some of y’all kinda came of the rails flying at me but a lot of responses have been good, educational, and in depth. I could voice my personal opinion on what has been going on in this country, but I don’t want to get politics involved on this platform like it’s the norm. From the multiple responses I’ve seen , I think it’s good I’ve asked this question so that others who are kinda confused can see this, and make a decision afterwards. And again, if your gonna get hostile with me....message me, or I can give u my number and we can settle differences that way. So please if your gonna get nasty and hostile, just don’t even comment.

Our constitution is for Democracy. The GOP is for Fascism. Easy decision.

To clear up something stated...SCOTUS and all the other courts did NOT RULE on any of the election cases...All of them chose to NOT hear the cases, so zero evidence was able to be presented! So essentially all of them turned a "blind eye" to the question and there was NO "Day in court". Which clearly does not settle any question of our election process being open and fair. This fact alone will be a "blister" for our society which when it "pops" will be a tragic event in our history. In my opinion, it is our a mix of our failure as the "People" that has allowed the subversion and corruption of our representatives and the decline and corruption of the media in this country. It's unfortunate, but this country is on a "downhill run" at the 2nd civil war and there doesn't appear to be any brakes on this ride. When the ballot box fails the people, the people's only choice is the cartridge box.
