I have spent my military career as a Space and Missile professional. We did our job so our adversaries would not dare attack the United States. My oath of office reads:
I, Daniel C. Mosqueda /// having been appointed a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force /// do solemnly swear /// that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States /// against all enemies, foreign and 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 which I am about to enter /// so help me God.
The key line for purposes of watching the video below is "I will support and defend the Constitution . . . . against all enemies, foreign and domestic." This is probably one of the clearest requirements of the US government outlined by the US Constitution. The Preamble states:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Defend the Common Defense - consider this as you watch the video below:
