(1,791 posts)Despite how short or long our time of service was, the oath was taken with the knowledge that it was a continuing thing, we were never given a counter oath. Our loyalty is to the Constitution, and not to any person.
I, ____________________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.

So, count me in.
