As soldiers we are instructed to DISobey unlawful orders

Oath keeper patch1 As a Senior NCO I am very aware of the Oath that I have taken numerous times in my 20+ years of service. Before I was even aware of “Oath Keepers” I had engaged in numerous conversations with superiors and subordinates about the very issues stated in your “Orders we will not obey”. I have found that the very large majority of Soldiers I have had these discussions with are VERY aware of the potential for Politicians to issue unlawful orders. As a leader it is my duty, and personal responsibility to ensure anyone within my charge be made aware of any unlawful order and to bring any said order to the attention of my Chain of Command. As soldiers we are instructed to DISobey unlawful orders. While we exist to defend the Republic we are not slaves to the Government. We are Citizens as well as Soldiers and realize that the Constitution of The United States is the supreme law of the land and ensures the freedoms of American citizens. I will not violate my oath to defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL enemies, foreign and domestic. So help me God.

Welcome to Oath Keepers!

“It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth – to know the worst and to provide for it.” – Patrick Henry
