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."

The back-and-forth between the White House and the Defense Department was expected as President George W. Bush left office. President Obama has already signed orders to close Guantanamo and to pull combat troops from Iraq. But, this, say many at the Defense Department, goes to far.

"Technically, we can't talk about it before it becomes official policy." the spokesman continued. "However, the Defense Department, including the Secretary, will not take this laying down. Expect a fight from the bureaucracy and the brass."

Sources at the White House had a different point of view. In a circular distributed by White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, the rationale for the change was made more clear.

"The President feels that the military has been too indoctrinated by the old harbingers of hate: nationalism, racism, and classism. By removing an oath to the American society, the soldiers are less likely to commit atrocities like those at Abu Ghraib."

"We expect a lot of flak over this," ! the clas sified memo continues. "But those that would be most against it are those looking either for attention or control."

The time frame for the changes are unknown. However, it is more likely that the changes will be made around the July 4th holiday, in order to dampen any potential backlash. The difference in the oath will actually only be slight. The main differences will be the new phrasing. It is expected that the oath to the Constitution will be entirely phased out within two years.

In my opinion, comments like this are put out to test the waters by those who want to implement "change." If there isn't a strong outrage that such a thing is being considered, they make plans to implement the change and try to put it through when people are least aware. Only if there is a strong pushback will they back pedal and say "it was just satire!" It's important for us to check such rumors thoroughly and try to only publish the truth, but there are times when we must say, "this is what I've heard - does anyone have corroboration or is this just a hoax?"

If anyone can verify that this is actually true, please let me know asap. Otherwise, this could be something that was put out there to take our attention away from the important issues that we are dealing with today, like the passage of the SCHIP bill and the probable passage of the Economic Stimulus plan. We have to keep our eye on the ball, but you're right, we should keep our eyes and ears wide open.

God and Country (the Constitution) that's my agenda and I have it in the correct order too!!! Nothing else matters!!

[wakeupamerica]

let us hope it is satire but i wouldnt close my eyes if i were you keep ears and eyes open at all times

nwo bible prophecy coming true before our eyes whether we like it or not

[Jesse S.]

I hope so Jean. As Obama would say, "leave nothing to chance". It should be followed up on nonetheless.

Afterall, it would be a logical step in destroying further phasing out the Constitution.

[WTPUSA]

I think this is satire. I'm pretty sure this is not true.

[Jesse S.]

Yeah, this wouldn't be good .. this is dictatorial in nature and nothing but.

Unlike the oath administered to enlisted personnel, the officer oath says nothing about obeying “the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me.” Officers merely swear or affirm that they will “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” This ensures, among other things, that officers have no moral obligation of obedience or loyalty to any individual in their chain of command--including the commander in chief--that trumps their duty to the Constitution.
