Military to Pledge Oath To Obama, Not Constitution

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is extremely frustrated with orders that the White House is contemplating. According to sources at the Pentagon, including all branches of the armed forces, the Obama Administration may break with a centuries-old tradition.

A spokesman for General James Cartwright, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, states that the Obama Administration wants to have soldiers and officers pledge a loyalty oath directly to the office of the President, and no longer to the Constitution.

"The oath to the Constitution is as old as the document itself." the spokesman said, "At no time in American history, not even in the Civil War, did the oath change or the subject of the oath differ. It has always been to the Constitution."

The back-and-forth between the White House and the Defense Department was expected as President George W. Bush left office. President Obama has already signed orders to close Guantanamo and to pull combat troops from Iraq. But, this, say many at the Defense Department, goes too far.

"Technically, we can't talk about it before it becomes official policy." the spokesman continued. "However, the Defense Department, including the Secretary, will not take this laying down. Expect a fight from the bureaucracy and the brass."

Sources at the White House had a different point of view. In a circular distributed by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, the rationale for the change was made more clear.

"The President feels that the military has been too indoctrinated by the old harbingers of hate: nationalism, racism, and classism. By removing an oath to the American society, the soldiers are less likely to commit atrocities like those at Abu Ghraib."

"We expect a lot of flak over this," the classified memo continues. "But those that would be most against it are those looking either for attention or control."

The time frame for the changes are unknown. However, it is more likely that the changes will be made around the July 4th holiday, in order to dampen any potential backlash. The difference in the oath will actually only be slight. The main differences will be the new phrasing. It is expected that the oath to the Constitution will be entirely phased out within two years.

Seems much more than just absolutely absurd, to me.
Every worthwhile oath taken in America, from The Presidency on down has:
"...and to uphold The Constitution of The United States of America".
Not just some politicians or some political clique.

As now supposedly & despicably being proposed suiting President Barack Hussein Obama II
or Jr., Biden & Pelosi & Political Supremacist Democrats in general, it would obviously become
like Nazi's SS oath taken to Der Fuhrer or also as once was quite common for old South American Dictators,...more so than most anything else.

The TOTAL One Party Control of America Preferring & Engineering Dems better watch out!
South America not only continent where Military Hunta's were & are still possible.

Besides, whom are more Conservative, Patriotic & SOLELY Allegiant to America as a whole
against Political Tyranny,...than U.S. Military anyway?

Also, most Generals, Admirals, Officers & Enlisted Personel aren't gutless, whining & normally capitulating to enemy ideologues, by nature. Else, all wouldn't have Volunteered to Join
The U.S. Military to Fight, Protect & Keep ALL Americans Free, in the first place.
