We Swore and Oath to Defend it. But we never really discuss the Constitution or even remember this introduction the amazing preamble which must of been written with generations of wisdom in the creation of a new government that was better then the one they left
We may have been given a gift that we do not fully understand how to use it to better all functions of society including serving it the military, where random bullying and assaults, can take place, and undermine the values of the whole system. I imagine the Prema
Establish Justice is the first of five objectives outlined in the 52-word paragraph that the Framers drafted in six weeks during the hot Philadelphia summer of 1787. They found a way to agree on the following basic principles:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

I was taught this in school, but no matter how you teach it, the preamble to the Constitution is not going to stop bullying and assaults. Developing character is the responsibility of parents.

"... the amazing preamble which must of been written with generations of wisdom..."
Why? Why must it have been written with some amazing wisdom and foresight? It's a pretty generic opening paragraph. Why can't it just be the best they could do on a moments notice several hundred years ago?
It's an opening statement to a government document, not a divine missive presented by the Metatron himself.

It's ok. It's certainly not a narrative masterpiece. They could have certainly done better.
