The Pledge of Allegiance

So, if I interpret this correctly, "Allegiance" is required to be displayed by citizens because they have not already sworn an "oath" to protect the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Bottom line - it's unneccesary for military personnel because we have already proven our "allegiance" through an "oath."

. . . . . . am I missing something here?

Now THAT makes sense (and sits better with me, as you must care to know ;)). "Unecessary" rather than "innappropriate," as the Lt. Col. had me thinking...

No one's asked me to pledge allegiance to the flag since grammar school. I don't see the conflict arising too often.

Outside of the occasional Boy Scout event I cant think of any time Ive ever seen adults pledge to the flag either.

You might be surprised (I was). Our local Kiwanis always begins their weekly breakfast meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance, as did a gun club I was once a member. I also believe there are a number of veteran organizations and civic organizations who do likewise. But I was surprised, pleasantly, when I first heard the Pledge recited at meetings.

Well according to USC as listed above, it says persons IN UNIFORM should remain silent, otherwise no comment. Shame we don't have a JAG to render a definitive verdict . . .:icon_tong

While at my last unit one of the CO's was a big supporter of the Daedalians, so we had a chapter there. Before every meeting we recited the pledge, then sat around a talked aviation stuff.

BTW, Robav8r, kudos to you on bringing this stuff up and laying out why you think it is true. I love stuff like this...reminds me of how I tell folks that there is no reason to burn a flag, just because it touched the ground. The USC is full of innerestin' stuff.
