    I keep in mind that, unlike in many countries, our military pledges an oath to the Constitution, not to a person.

      Majority of US army is in the Trump cult. There’s no reasons to think they’d actually follow their oath when they worship a guy who shits on the constitution every 5 minutes.

      My country swears to the crown and not the wearer. That’s why I’m still sworn despite the Queen’s passing.

      Even my current oath as part of some contract work is to the region and not the [governor], and so long as not ordered otherwise by the crown. It’s two layers of office-not-officer.
