Oath Keeper Testimonial by Active Duty Army

soldier-salute

As an active duty soldier, I would like to stay anonymous. But I want you guys to know I‘m with you 100% and so are a lot of my fellow soldiers. These kinds of discussions go on between us often and we all know that we did not swear an oath to any politician (of either party).

And just for the record not me or anyone else in my platoon would ever follow an order to disarm the American people.

Please know that the majority of American Citizens are with our brothers and sisters in arms in their oaths to protect and uphold the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence! Please note though, we as American citizens also must take an oath, too! I will not lay my firearms aside and will defend my country from enemies within even if it means laying down my own life. I think that this is a necessary aspect to this cause. Maybe we should start a sister site for those of use who are not/have not served in the military? Just a thought – but we are no less patriotic and willing to defend our freedoms with those in uniform.

Welcome and thanks for your service.
We are glad to hear that the word is getting around. Please continue to discuss this with everyone that will listen. Even those who do not “buy into” the organization will have been exposed to the concept and thought about their oaths BEFORE they get put into a tough situation.
You guys are great, but still only 18-23 years old, and when faced with an order from “on high”, it takes a lot of guts to slow down and recognize a violation and be able to speak up.
But because of it, no hypothetical, wannabe despot will be able to count on our American warriors backing a counter-revolution against the People.

How do you and your fellow soldiers feel about the “OK for Troop’s” care packages?
