“For military people, the honor of directly serving the president outweighs all other things.”

The oath is to the Protection of the US Constitution - not loyalty to a president...and the military does not serve the president!

I, _____, having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ 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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God.” (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)

President is not mentioned...AT ALL!

What president? He’s an illegally appointed infiltrator. The marines ought to throw coffee in his face at the very least. If they’ve sworn to uphold constitution against enemies foreign and domenstic, why are they acting so reverently around him anyway? They deserve such disregard if they will not serve their oath.

It makes me wonder why he who is not mentioned in the oath is still occupying the Oval Office.
