Perhaps I'm ignorant, but isn't that merely a ceremonial procedure?
- prodmerc 11y agoI mean, you do officially swear to protect and serve the country, what it stands for and its people in a time of need, to respect the laws and customs. Whether you keep that promise or not is up to you, but obviously most people (hopefully) don't just throw promises around and actually feel like it's a big commitment...
