[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1451809, member: 6897"] I skimmed the article but got hung up when he quotes the oath he says he took as an officer. That is the oath of an enlisted man but it does skew things in the favor of his opinion.[color=#FF0000][b]In 1836, he went to West Point, to become an Army officer. He graduated, twelfth in his class in 1840. The oath he swore went like this: "I, _____, appointed a _____ in the Army of the United States, do solemnly swear, or affirm, that I will bear true allegiance to the United States of America, and that I will serve them honestly and faithfully against all their enemies or opposers whatsoever, and observe and obey the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the rules and articles for the government of the Armies of the United States."[/b][/color] Is the above oath (In Red) the one you say is the oath of an enlisted man?? The man writing the article I referenced in the link was an officer and says this is basically the same oath he took in the 20th century [/QUOTE]
