Harry, Here is is oath.... his FIRST and ONLY allegiance is to the constitution. This is the Marine officers oath in its' entirety.
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; 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. On Apr 15, 3:49 pm, Harry Beck <hgb...@aol.com> wrote: > I agree, orders are orders.
