It continues to astound me that persons who avoided military service, who sought out cooperative doctors and lawyers to dodge the draft, exempt themselves from military service, would seek to block those willing to take the Oath.
They act from cowardice and fear, to deny others who unlike them are willing to make this self-sacrifice.
I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
