Keeping your oath, while on active duty, and keeping the oath after you leave service. How important is it and will it be something that you will continue after you leave the military service? With the degradation of society and the state of civil unrest, it's important that members of society have members that can be counted on the hold the line of what is right and stand up for those who cannot defend or speak for themselves. Oath Keepers are not just police or first responders, they are common people who have taken the oath and are firmly committed to upholding it.

SSG Edward Tilton - You are correct if you contend that honorably discharged enlisted, NCO, and officer veterans are not technically obligated to follow their oath when returned to civilian status. However most do continue to keep their oaths as a testament of their service and loyalty to the United States. I believe most Americans (in general) expect officers and NOOs to at least "adhere" to their Oath's of Office irrespective of their actual status. Retired officers are absolutely expected to keep their oaths following their retirement. I am unsure about retired enlisted or NCOs.

I have taken two oaths 1 for the Marines 1 for the Army. I was a teen in the 50,s and the cold war was on and the talk of using nuclear weapons was was going to be the answer. My Mindset was better dead than red. I'm 79 years old and I still feel that way. When I see domestic terrorists attacking our congress I think to myself, try that in Russia or China and see what happens. Their is no "I have rights". Rights in those countries are Prison or death. Semper Fi.

I just pray that those in service remember their oath if called upon to quell/enforce a domestic agenda and that their leaders have the courage to refuse to carry out immorale or unlawful orders.

MAJ Anne McGee I'm 100% with you and agree wholeheartedly. Christians are becoming a rare commodity in the military. Those who are there have a heavy burden to carry by representing and holding the line. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

Damnit, I see agendas every day that do not coincide with my beliefs so if it is to protect America yes, but I will not shoot someone in my family over an agenda.

MAJ Anne McGee
Yes, and the political agendas appear to be getting more sinister and overt; however, I can't agree with your statement. I will not shoot Americans on American soil as part of an agenda not just because it's my immediate family but because I swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and if that enemy is the government (agenda), then I am duty bound to protect Americans as my family. I understand that a situation can become chaotic but it is those situations that define us.

MAJ Anne McGee You're statement just agreed with myn. My prayer is that our soldiers remember their oath and that they and their leaders do not enforce unlawful orders either here in the US or abroad.

I will and have continued to keep my oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
My problem is not that there are some who cannot speak of defend themselves, my problem stems from the fact that 14% of the people in this country tell the other 86% to sit down and shut up and of that percentage 85 will actually listen. Therein lies the problem. There are too many people who are unwilling to stand up for themselves who are perfectly capable of doing so. Fortunately for them there are people like us (1%ers, military) who will do it for them.
I don't care who they are, what the color of their skin is, by what name they call God, or even if they know me let alone like me.
I will defend the following,
My God
My Family
My Country
My Property
and the rights of others no matter how I may feel about them personally.

I will never support a Muslim or Communist dictator. I would protect the President and his family because of what the FLAG and the Constitution represent. You start changing the tenants of what makes us America and order me to do something against God or my family then the gauntlet is laid down.
