SK>JB>SK>Here is what _I_ swore to (and the "So help me
God" part is but
SK>JB>SK>a  request for help for one's OWN higher power (if they have
SK>JB>SK>one), not a promise. And it's considered
"secular" just as A.A.
SK>JB>SK>is considered  secular when speaking of a "higher
power".)

SK>JB>The military isn't A.A. 

SK>And you aren't my judge.

SK>I took the silly ass "god shit" as just that.

SK>Or are you saying that the Constitution is wrong?

Just you.


SK>JB>SK>"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support
SK>JB>SK>and defend  the Constitution of the United States against all
SK>JB>SK>enemies, foreign and  domestic; that I will bear true faith and
SK>JB>SK>allegiance to the same; and  that I will obey the orders of the
SK>JB>SK>President of the United States and  the orders of the officers
SK>JB>SK>appointed over me, according to regulations  and the Uniform
SK>JB>SK>Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title
10, US  Code;
SK>JB>SK>Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789,
SK>JB>SK>with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

SK>JB>Which part of "So help me God" alludes you ? 

SK>No part nor parcel, pal.

SK>JB>English is a tough language.

SK>Not forme. I even understand intent.

SK>BTW, have you proven a negative lately?

Yep.
