-Caveat Lector- Did General Tommy Franks Violate His Army Oath? SIAnews.com 11-25-3
With recently-retired Army General Tommy Franks having stated publicly that the Constitution might need to be scrapped, in favor of some form of military dictatorship, http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/11/20/185048.shtml did he violate his Army Oath? http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/faq/oaths.htm The wordings of the current oath of enlistment and oath for commissioned officers are as follows: "I, _____, 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; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962). "I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance tot he same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.) ------------------------- -iNFoWaRZ Yes, Franks violated his oath, and now joins the ranks of fellow oath breakers in the House, Senate, Supreme Court, and White House. Washington is teeming with Constitutional Oath Breakers. America, the US Government is TELLING YOU that if there is another terrorist attack that YOU WILL LOSE YOUR LIBERTIES, YOUR CONSTITUTION, YOUR BILL OF RIGHTS. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR COUNTRY and it will be REPLACED by a MILITARY DICTATORSHIP. Your government officials are openly talking about commiting TREASON against YOU. ...And the PDDAs* say, "ho hum, it can't happen here." *PDDAs: Poor Dumbed-Down Americans, who are more familar with the TV Guide and last weeks sports scores than they are with their own Bill of Rights and Constitution. www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
