Just wondering. Another pede posted a short movie based on The Battle of Athens. It is a true story that took place in Tennessee in 1946. A corrupt and entrenched political establishment was stealing elections and this time tried to steal one from a candidate fielded by a group of veterans. When the corrupt sheriff and his men took the ballot boxes away to count in private (and rig the results) the group of veterans stormed the place, blew the doors off and threatened the crooks, who wound up surrendering. The veterans were never charged.
It made me wonder -- veterans take an oath to protect the Constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic. That oath doesn't end when you go back to civilian life, does it? Because it seems there are none better trained for war than veterans. Some have even seen action and know what hell it is. Seems like veterans are exactly the type of people who should run for office. But my main question / point is -- veterans may be the best suited to fight the tyranny of a corrupt political system. As a veteran yourself, do you agree and do you feel your oath is still valid, even after you're left the service. Thanks.
I'm a US Navy Vet 12 yrs Combat trained medic and no the oath never ends the only time it ends is when you die. so i would be obligated to protect Our GEOTUS and this Country
Glad to hear you feel that way. Thanks!
It is not only that, it is the quality of some of the Veterans on here,there was that guy a couple of gundays ago who posted the video of him dropping a huge Wild hog at over 1200 yards & gear the he used must have been $10K exceeding Mil Spec ,he had been a marksman in the Army from memory & the rifle he built outperformed the 338 LM ,
The video showing the vapor trail of the bullet across the 1200 yards until it flattened the hog was amazing,someone said the bullet had nearly as much energy at 800 yards as a 308 at the muzzle.
These are the guys we have & want on our side if anything ever did happen ,which l doubt it will.
