I have my oath-keeping Brothers’ and Sisters’ at heart

ArmyLogo I took an oath when joining the US Army many years ago, and I do not recall agreeing to an expiration date. I swore that oath and I meant it. I joined the US Army when it wasn’t cool to be a clean cut soldier, and remember very clearly how “alternative opinions” to the definition of this Republic was attempting to obscure, misdirect, and derail our purpose. Today, the sons and daughters of those aforementioned people are FLYING the country into the ground, either by act of omission or overt intention. Never in my life have I been so concerned for our great Nation’s future as I am today. Never in my life would I have imagined that the United States Government would be more interested in what its own citizens were doing and saying than other countries who have sworn to contribute to our destruction. There is a great difference between our Country and our government. Knowing that difference is a key attribute of us Oath Keepers, and I am proud to know that difference!

I therefore take great pride in confirming that I have not, nor will I ever forget my obligation. I know from where the power of our government comes, and I swear on my soul I will never let that change. I fully support the tenets of the Oath Keeper pledge, and I unconditionally support the Constitution that defines this great Republic. I also strongly oppose any attempt to circumvent the limits placed on the government by the Constitution, vigorously and directly if necessary.

This I most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear with steadfast resolution. I have my oath-keeping Brothers’ and Sisters’ at heart, (I also have our backs).

Watada Discharged
Saturday 26 September 2009

by: Gregg K. Kakesako | The Honolulu Star-Bulletin

Lt. Ehren Watada was the first commissioned military officer to refuse deployment to Iraq because he believed it was an illegal war. (Photo: PD-USGov-Military)
The Army grants the officer’s resignation under “other than honorable conditions.”

First Lt. Ehren Watada, the first commissioned military officer to refuse deployment to Iraq because he believed it was an illegal war, has won his three-year legal battle with the Army.

With little fanfare the Army at Fort Lewis, Wash., accepted the resignation of the 1996 Kalani High School graduate, and he will be discharged the first week in October.

Rather than seek a second court-martial against the artillery officer, the Army will grant Watada a discharge under “other than honorable conditions.”
