Upon entering the military, an American officer is expected to give the same oath, under which they promise to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”
The language is akin to that of the president, as he enters the office, and gives an oath to that states the following: “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
These oaths are part of what make America great, and what make America unique. Under it, America’s leaders swear to uphold freedom, the very freedoms that make the United States what it is today.
To that point, it is disappointing when we constantly see these oaths violated and nothing being done about it. It is particularly frustrating to American military officers, who work every day to protect our freedoms. It is no surprise that many retired officers have come public with their criticisms of President Obama, who seems intent on destroying what we have built.
The most recent cause for concern is Obama’s treatment of Islamic terrorists, from trading Guantanamo Bay detainees to supporting terrorist groups. From Air Force Major General Bentley Rayburn to Army Major General Paul E. Vallely, heroes are speaking out about the dangerous leadership that is driving American liberty into the ground.
These criticisms are different from those coming from the press or the American public. These are coming from those who took an oath and have dedicated their lives to protecting America, and who see, clear as day, the danger in allowing a leader like Obama to continue.
What do you think? Is it time Obama faced consequences for his actions?
