Give up your freedom for security code#

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.вЂќ The US Constitution is what gives us the right to call an asshole an asshole, to worship the higher power of our choosing, to get a fair trial and due process if accused of a crimeвЂ¦ all sorts of freedoms that many places around the world lack. вЂњI, (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.вЂќ However, before I joined, I had a nice little discussion with the recruiter about possible contradictions in the oath of service. I love our Constitution and I spent half a decade in the Navy to protect it. I suspect thatвЂ™s what a lot of my fellow вЂњchest beatersвЂќ were saying in their own way.Д«ut thanks for calling attention to the fact we donвЂ™t live in a place like Somalia, and most of have no desire to move I think you are misinterpreting the intent of many of the people here. I meant that I donвЂ™t want to see freedoms we currently have slip away drop by drop till we are complete slaves of the state. Sci-fi dystopias like Escape from LA may be fun to watch, but I have no desire to live one out. I didnвЂ™t intend my answer to mean I yearn for a world without government where only the strong survive by taking from the weak. I think IвЂ™ve got my pound of flesh in the pot.Д«ut I recognize that we give up freedom for security every day.

I pay my taxes, run a business that contributes to society, and do my best to be a good citizen and intervene to protect the life and property of my those around me. I served in the Navy, and my son is a 2nd Lt. As to doing my part, my dad was a WWII vet. Granted itвЂ™s easy to say вЂњLive free or die.вЂќ but not so easy to do it.
