We should all know the answer. The Constitution. Neither democracy nor capitalism is mentioned in itResponse by CPT Jack Durish made Sep 22 at 2018 11:31 PM2018-09-22T23:31:53-04:002018-09-22T23:31:53-04:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3986918<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>According to the DoD, it’s mission statement is, “The mission of the Department of Defense is to provide a lethal Joint Force to defend the security of our country and sustain American influence abroad.”<br /><br />Further, if push comes to shove, I’d argue that security of the nation would ultimately supersede the defense of the Constitution.
