Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

It  needs to be changed to "lawful orders".

There is enough precedent where this has been established.

"I was following orders."  simply isn't enough to keep you from the gallows.

That's covered under the provisions of the UCMJ. 

I took my oath 46 years ago this month.  It hasn't expired, yet.

I've mentioned it here before, but have a look at www.oathkeepers.org

Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

Oh..I know it is covered in the UCMJ....and upheld, but few troops peruse it.

It just needs to be in the oath so each soldier hears it at the start of his service.


Took my oath on June 21st of 65 when I was 18.  The biggest and most important commitment of my life to then..and still way up there.  I remember thinking I was carrying on the 'tradition'.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
