My dad, who was an executive for most of his life, wanted me to follow him. But, I saw how as an "executive", he was even MORE of an anxiety-ridden wage slave than the line workers, who had easily replaceable jobs and much less to lose. No thanks. Got it. So you decided to spend your life doing acid and chasing pregnant teenagers instead. That sounds like a great plan for a productive life.

Posted: January 31, 2009 12:00 am Eastern © 2009 WorldNetDaily A recent Internet report that a battle was shaping up between the U.S. military and the White House because of executive plans to have soldiers pledge allegiance to the president instead of the nation and its Constitution raised alarm among the patriotic this week. But it didn't seem to include the detail that the Department of Defense knew nothing about the "issue." Among the first places the claims apparently appeared was the JumpinginPools blog, where it was reported: "A spokesman for General James Cartwright, the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, states that the Obama Administration wants to have soldiers and officers pledge a loyalty oath directly to the office of the President, and no longer to the Constitution."
