The former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley in his 2023 farewell address as a military man, but equally applicable to us all, military or civilian, said: “We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or to a tyrant or dictator, and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America, and we’re willing to die to protect it.”
