I’d like to serve in the military, but now I am too old to do so. Who do I sue?? /sarc

I'm certain there's a way to serve the military, even if you're not “in the military”.

I love FR. Yesterday I wrote back and forth with Esquilax. I went home and pulled my son's study manuals off the shelf and looked up the oaths. I was certain my son's oath was to “protect and defend the Constitution” only. Esquilax said that the oath swore an allegiance to the Constitution, the President, Commanding Officers. Well, much to my surprise (never having been in the military), we were both right. Enlisted take the oath Esquilax referred to, and my son took the oath Officers take.

I shall not continue to refresh my son's education on the Constitution, so he will never ask his men to do something counter to the document that preserves us all. Esquilax I thank you and send my love. Learning everyday.
