Once when I enlisted and once when I accepted my commission. I was never released from that oath when I left the service long ago. The Constitution is what we protect. Not some Korrupt Korpulent Koprolite and his cabinet of dryer-lint “Brains” trying to destroy it.

The military will hold. Veterans will stand. Capitan Kelly, we’ve got your wing.
