“”I can’t even imagine what that ceremony means to someone and having that as a memory is unconscionable,” Bogage said. “
If I was there, that would be one of the best moments of my life.
So help me God to defeat obama and his crowd! Amen!
When did they add THIS to the oath???
“I will obey the orders of the president of the United States.”
I enlisted in 71 and I’m pretty damn sure that wasn’t part of the oath I took.
Sounds like a self serving Obama edit....
Agreed!
It’s the National Guard.
NOT the Praetorian Guard.
“Some people said they found the display inappropriate.”
I find the president to be inappropriate. Oh well!
“However, presidential booing has been known to cross the political aisle.”
GEE! Ya’ THINK?????
It’s been there for a long time. It comes after the statement on the Constitution.
“”I can’t even imagine what that ceremony means to someone and having that as a memory is unconscionable,” Bogage said. “
What? This jerk is some kind of santified diety that we must ALL accept wholly and heartily?
Really?
No thanks. I already HAVE a religion!!
“I will obey the orders of the president of the United States.”
In the National Guard (Army or Air)
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of (STATE NAME) against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of (STATE NAME) and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.
Yeah, but Bush didn't have parchment-thin skin like the sociopathic POS that now runs the country (into the ground).
Bush would shrug something like this off with a self deprecating grin. Obama may send somebody out to do his critics harm, and he's just announced that he's "getting real good at killing people".

One for active duty
I, [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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God
And one for the National Guard
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the State of (STATE NAME) against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the Governor of (STATE NAME) and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to law and regulations. So help me God.
Actually there are two oath’s, one for enlisted and one for Officers. The Officer oath does not mention the President, only the Constitution:
The wordings of the current oath of enlistment and oath for commissioned officers are as follows:
“I, _____, 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; 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 Justice. So help me God.” (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).
“I, _____ (SSAN), 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 reservation 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.)
Here is the corrected version:
During halftime, new members of the Pyongyang National Guard were being sworn in on the field of Memorial Stadium, said team spokesman Chad Moller.
Part of the oath the service members took reads, “I will obey the orders of the Dear Leader of the North Korea.” During a pause after that line was read, members of the crowd could clearly be heard booing and jeering, said LeMari Porter, an MU student present at the game.
MU student Julia Bosley was sitting in the general admission section on the hill during the game. She said she thinks the man standing behind her, who appeared to be a Pyongyang fan was the first to boo.
“He started booing, and then it just sort of spread around the stadium,” Bosley said. “I was sitting with my boyfriend's family, and we all just turned around and looked at him in disbelief.”
Bosley said no one said anything to stop the man, and several people nearby joined in.
Some people said they found the display inappropriate.
Tennessee native Madi Kirk was sitting in the visitors section and heard booing from all sides of the stadium.
“I felt like it was a very serious time and for good reason,” Kirk said. “I thought the booing was disrespectful and that it was the wrong time for it.”
MU sophomore Jacob Bogage echoed that sentiment.
“I can't even imagine what that ceremony means to someone and having that as a memory is unconscionable,” Bogage said.
*“”I can’t even imagine what that ceremony means to someone and having that as a memory is unconscionable,” *
I bet this guy thought it was great when the Leftists mocked Bush....
