I have just purchased and started reading “The Red Circle” . Thanks for your service. Some will say that, yet no really realize the commitment , hardship , training, and everything else that service to this country really entails. Thank you for your refreshing honesty in your blog.

From one sailor to another I agree with every thing you said except the coment that all military take an “OATH” to support the president. I respectfully beg to differ Chief.
The United States is unique in it is the only country where we fire pissers in uniform take an oath NOT to a person but to the SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND, our CONSTITUTION. It was setup that way to prevent tyranny. Hence the reason “foreign AND domestic” are included. We to are a part of the system of checks and balances for OUR and our fellow citizens FREEDOM.
Now I am not an Obama fan and openly say so here but having said that if he or any in my chain of command would give me a lawful order I’d snap to and get ugly right F*****g now. However we as military professionals must at least know the order is LAWFUL. I do not question the UBL order and would cover your six any time brother but we gotta be more specific for the youngins so they are not used and abused.

There are those of us who think that some of the president’s actions have been extra-constitutional, e.g. his overuse of Executive Orders. Given that as a foundation, what you do to honor your oath if you found the president’s orders to be unconstitutional?
This, I think, was the basis for oathkeeper.com.
