I can't be bothered .. but a parting comment :-)

SO... An OATH is expected to do "whatever" and "whenever" whether this is a criminal or not and over which the "oathee" has no say?? Excuse me... but that is too close to the Third Reich for me!!

Now I understand much - adolescent ain't the word.

Having said that, oddly, I have a fair respect for "real soldiers" and officers I have met over time. They usually had morals and respect of others.
