Read that earlier. Truly scary how little Trump actually knew about WWII. Even scarier how close we came to catastrophe.

Good to know that the generals took seriously the oath they swore when they were commissioned.

quote:
"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the _____ (Military Branch) of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or 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."


The alternatives truly ranged from dangerous to catastrophic.
