I am fortunate to be a member of the Veterans of Foreign War and the American Legion. These fine organizations are inspiring for me due to their members. I served on active duty for 16 years and did so during some times in our history where man battled man so I am eligible for membership but the veterans of these organizations, as well as so many others outside these groups, served in the heat of battle rather than in support of battle.
I was never called on to raise a gun, take aim at another human, and fire. I was never called to rescue those who fell from our adversaries attacks. I was never called to carry home the remains of a brave veteran so their family could find some form of peace. Others I know, honor, and care for tasted this end of serving our country on active duty but this was not my calling, my duty, nor my time during my service to our nation. However, I took an oath I stand by today and would have served, I simply was not called upon…until now.
No, our military has not sunk to such a level they are recalling old, worn out management engineers who can barely walk. Our Constitution needs fighters right now, it is under assault. For those that may not know the oath of enlistment (yep, enlisted swine here, Salute!) here it is;
“I, (NAME), 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. “
Look at the order of allegiance outlined carefully. First is the Constitution, then an agreement to obey the President of the United States and finally the officers appointed over me. If an officer or the President gave an order counter to the regulations, UCMJ, or the United States Constitution it was not my first duty to obey it but rather support and defend our documented contract for how we will live with each other in our country and in our states. It is this duty, with the help of God, I am referring to being called to action now, along with every citizen who cherishes freedom and believes in our heritage.
The war raging for the freedom to live under our Constitutional Republic is escalating. There are enemies in our government that want to subvert freedom for equalized security. Lucky for my fellow citizens this war will not require me to raise my rifle; my aim is not what it used to be. This war requires me to raise my voice, my vote, and my neighbors awareness. This battle will be fought precinct by precinct in every local, state, and federal election over the next 6 years. Our defense of our Constitutional future begins in earnest right now as we prepare for another major enemy attack in 2010.
Politically connected, faction controlled, special interest candidates will be lying for votes and we must be ready. Knowledge, passion, and persistence will be necessary…as will numbers! Good, God fearing, Oath Keeping candidates will need to be recruited and supported. Boots on the streets will be required. Victory will be hard but it WILL BE! Samuel Adams reminds us today, “It does not take a majority to prevail… but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
