I wouldn't say it in high school, not because I was unpatriotic (I volunteered to go into the Navy), but because IT WAS coercive. The fact that you HAD to say it meant it meant nothing (to me, anyway).

I wonder how many of our biggest traitors (like Aldrich Ames) stood tall every morning in school and cheerily said it? I've never approved of oaths and still don't. Oath doesn't equal patriot. You want to demonstrate your loyalty? Demonstrate it with acts, not recited words.
