Does our Oath ever expire? Our we still held to it after the military? What if an amendment were added to removed from the Constitution? Would you be required to uphold your original oath? I don't forsee this happening any time soon. It's just 3 am and I can't sleep.....

As far as I’m concerned. I still consider my oath is for life. I know several upon several Veteran’s that feel the same way. We all swore an oath to Protect, and Defend The Constitution against all enemies. Foreign, and Domestic, and ended it with so help me God. An oath to God in my eyes is unbreakable.

My oath to the Constitution started when the doctor slapped my ass at birth. It doesn't end until the casket slams shut.

As a loyal citizen of the United States I have an obligation to uphold and defend the Constitution...but the oath I took (many years ago..Feb of '70) when I entered the US Navy expired when I was discharged in July of 74..I suppose i was still held to it for another 2 years..but then that was it. People who say it has no expiration date...really? If some ensign came by and told me my lawn needed to be mowed I would have to hop to it, eh? I don't think so. I sure as hell don't see that orange buffoon in the Oval Office as my Commander in Chief.

An elistment expires, an oath was made based on your honor and your mental fortitude as a warrior. Its up to you whether or not it expires.

If we are still bound by our oath after retirement why are members of congress allowing the president to tear up the constitution?

Although I was discharged after 2 months 19 days, (Vietnam Veteran, Aug. 20th - Nov. 8th 1974), I still honor my Oath. I was 17 at the time of my enlistment, and proud to serve the time I was able to serve.

NO, OUR OATH NEVER EXPIRES. Our Enlistment expires when we ETS, but our Oath does not have an expiration. Only our Term if Service has an expiration date. The OATH and the ENLISTMENT are two separate things. It is an oath OF THE enlistment. It is used in the same sentence, but two separate nouns

Just my take on the op's question.

I agree, our oath is to the constitution and the constitution has changed and will problably change again.

If your argument is our oath does not relate to the constitution as it changes, then it follows that you should follow the original document without amendments.

Anyone for THAT approach?
