    Default ...against all enemies, foreign and domestic;...

    So, I'm sitting here watching the latest "The Ultimate Fighter," and a Navy recruiting commercial comes on. The camera shows different Navy personnel, and each one has a background narration, in different voices, that roughly follows the oath. I perked up when I heard, "I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America." THAT'S WHERE SHE STOPPED. Having heard and recited this oath many times, I believe, "...against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;..." should have been included in this ad.

    Oh, and Aim High and stuff.

    Perhaps they are on time limits per person vs. some vague conspiracy you "Think" may be lurking in the wings.

    True. The blatant attacks on the Constitution are very disturbing.

    No conspiracy, just a general disregard.
    The commercial was scripted, not a time-limit impromptu type of thing.

    I fear you may be correct. Some that I work with have no understanding of the Oath except that it means they get a re-enlistment bonus, and the numbers seem to grow each year.
