Above Politics: The U.S. Military Will Always Defend the Constitution
The American people can have confidence that their servicemen and women will continue to serve regardless of who is president, as has been the case since Washington relinquished the presidency to Adams, with a total and unflagging commitment to the Constitution of the United States.
I [officer’s name], do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States againstall 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 upon which I am about to enter. So help me God!
