I thought the oath had something to do with obeying orders, and I believe we would have obeyed. Sounds like the second amendment says military people that took an oath to obey orders should disobey the orders? Can't win.Which only underscores the need for the 2nd amendment and why the founders, in their wisdom put it in our constitution.I hope people would think again about fighting the government for their gun rights. During the war I was an MP for a time and once a month we would have "crowd control drill."' Our MI's were complete with bayonets as we marched against the crowd. Would we have shot if ordered to? There was never any question by any of us about shooting Americans if ordered.
Do you even try to think before talking or typing? I only ask because that was a really silly statement. Perhaps you shouldn't really be in the military. Apparently you have no concept of the oath you swore.
The oath actually has to do with LAWFUL orders not any order. The operative word here is lawful.
