It places emphasis on authentic, real, full-fledged faith and allegiance. you cannot partially “buy-in” or support these ideals, but you must fully promise to uphold them. Having faith is trusting the process. Being faithful means having complete confidence in someone or something, and not letting doubt take hold. Pledging allegiance is something that most individuals do on a regular basis to our flag; however, in this sense it represents remaining loyal and committing entirely to protecting our great nation. “...and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.” Members of the Armed Services must respect and follow through with the orders of the President of the United States. Individuals are not required to always agree or support the choices of the President, but they must – at a minimum – respect the office and the decisions, while doing everything they can to execute and follow said orders. This also applies to any superior officers. Individuals may not know the full picture, but they must complete their section or task as instructed, in order for the collective to function efficiently and effectively. Adhering to the regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice is of utmost importance. This was not put in place for no reason. There was thought, intention, and purpose poured into every word of this code. In order for the Armed Services to be efficient in all their dealings, there must be a level of regulation, especially in regard to internal dealings. A written system of discipline that is uniform, is necessary to promote impartiality. Finally, it is important to make reference to God, for you must have His support for all that you do. Through Him, all things are possible. (Editor’s Note: Branson Globe hopes you enjoy reading the thoughts of these young people, and will wish them well in their future endeavors.
