SFC Austin and SGT Jett, Ft. Leonard, MO, 1973.

Having taken, for the first of many times, a solemn oath to support and defend the Constitution (https://www.army.mil/values/oath.html), I found it prudent to learn what I had pledged my life to defend.

In our society, not all who take a similar oath are committed defenders of the Constitution while many who never take such an oath are ardently involved defenders.

Take for example a breakfast of ham and eggs. The chicken was involved in producing the elements. The pig was committed.

In our society, we have decided to rely on a few volunteers to serve as the committed guardians of our constitution so that not all are required to so serve. Only a few feel the call to be committed. Each of us is responsible to choose our form of defense and support for the Constitution. The important point is that we do choose and do act.
