This is from a company called Little Books of Wisdom
Big seller on amazon they have the us constitution to the Declaration of Independence to the articles of confederation plus more. Since we are suppose to be supporting and defending the US Constitution against enemies foreign and domestic.... shouldn’t our soldier stidy and ACTUALLY read the constitution since defending this is our FIRST mission as a service member? Do you think this little book should be an inspectable item in the present or near future? Comment below. I want to hear the opinions from other leaders out there. Disclaimer:if you are just going to comment negativity and hate due to your own ego.... then just keep scrolling. Thank you

I believe we are combat oriented, and have leadership that are accountable. We do our mission and they do theirs. Let’s focus on the mission, while we are in uniform we should be impartial.

Its a great thought, but like its been said by others, it's another thing joes have to read or carry. I would simply keep it as a leaders reading list material. As it stands all officers whether going through ocs, ROTC or an academy need to take military history courses. Most of the time the constitution, declaration of independence, or articles of confederation are primary sources required for reading. At most I would keep it as a useful reading material for enlisted looking to make the jump to E5.

No. Yes, I think service members should know the constitution, it was a part of required training during a recent VBA. However, no, I do not think it should now or in the future be an inspectable item.
Secondly, and let me say this first, I do not believe you are the type I am about to describe, as I do not know you very well, just need to say it. But secondly, a lot of people who believe that soldiers should fight back against "domestic terrorists" and "tyrants" hinting at politicians, do not fully realize the severity of what they're actually implying. Again, not saying that's you. I have heard similar talk with that type of ideas being tossed around.

This subject used to be covered in high school (back in the day) before the education system became screwed up. We were told in the 1960s that the communists were concentrating on two areas in our colleges and universities - education and journalism. Form your own opinion on that premise.
