"They" are never going to accept any clear explanation from you.
OTOH, "they" never come back for more information, when you call them on their "freely voiced ignorant opinions".
hmmmm

Changing topics slightly...
We all swore the same oath, and the vast majority of us have at least one piece of pretty parchment paper that says we faithfully honored that oath between two arbitrary dates, but that piece of paper does not say we are entirely done with that oath, and I know of no un-oath-swearing ceremony that relieved any of us from our original oaths.

Perhaps we could all unite and demand "they" make it official and final, for all those who wear the boots now, and in the future?

As if I even *wanted* to be relieved from that oath... I took off my uniform, for the last time, almost 19 years ago. That oath bound me even at the end of that day, and binds me still today. I will continue to protect, preserve and defend the Costitution of the United States, from *all* enemies, foreign *and* domestic, until such time as I am *willing* to be relieved from that oath (which will be until a certain place freezes over...)
