"Secretary of Defense Robert Gates is extremely frustrated with orders that the White House is contemplating. According to sources at the Pentagon, including all branches of the armed forces, the Obama Administration may break with a centuries-old tradition.
A spokesman for General James Cartwright, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, states that the Obama Administration wants to have soldiers and officers pledge a loyalty oath directly to the office of the President, and no longer to the Constitution.
“The oath to the Constitution is as old as the document itself.” the spokesman said, “At no time in American history, not even in the Civil War, did the oath change or the subject of the oath differ. It has always been to the Constitution.”
If this is true and not a figment of somebody's warped imagination, we are in SERIOUS DANGER! This is a classic tactic reserved for dictators and other tyrants! That would mean the President has declared war on US! Since I have not read this elsewhere, for now, I think it is, indeed, a cruel joke being played on us. I have done web searches and not found anything regarding this, so far.
