A couple nights ago I got pretty outrageously out of hand on a thread dealing with the words in the Pledge of Allegence!
After thinking about it and stewing for a while, I feel I owe an appology! My mind was on the values I have learned and tried to live up to from the Army.
Loyality: Bear true faith and allegence to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, Your unit, and other Soldiers.
Duty: Fufill your obligations.
Respect: Treat people as they should be treated.
Selfless-Service: Put the welfare of the Nation, The Army, and your Subordinates before your own.
HONOR: Live up to all the Army values.
Intregrity: DO WHAT'S RIGHT, LEAGALLY AND MORALLY.
Personal Courage: Face fear, danger, or adversity (Physical or Moral).
Which leades to the SOLDIER'S CODE.
#1. I am an American soldier - a protector of the greatest nation on earth sworn to uphold the Constitution to the United States.
#2. I will treat others with dignity and respect and expect others to do the same.
#3. I will honor my Country, the Army, my unit and my fellow solidiers by living the Army Values.
#4. No matter what situation I am in, I will never do anything for pleasure, profit or personal saftey which will disgrace my uniform, my unit, or my Country.
#5. Lastly, I am proud of my Country and it flag. I want to look back and say that I am proud to have served my Country as a soldier.
If the military can change the Oath of Enlistment to: I swear or afferm, then the Pledge can be changed also to maybe: "under God( under my God or no God), "indevisable" I feel should stay.
Remember Hitler was an Atheist!
We are a proud nation and we stuck together, along with 27 other nations on 09-11-01!
I can go along with change if it is healthy for EVERYONE! In Star Trek, Spock dying said it all " The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the one!" I'm not trying to preach, but Jesus laid down his life for everyone, not just Christians, but atheists, buddists, agnostics, mormans, jones cultests............Etc...........I could go on.................
A special appoligy to Sunstruck, forgive me for attacking your thinking!
I am a firm beliver in FREEDOM! Call me a Warmonger if you will, but I will lay down my life to protect our way of life, our freedom, our country! If there was a "Red Dawn", belive me I'll be one of the first to sign up and go with out reserve, with out question, with out remorse!
How many of YOU will do this?
