Weighting the Importance of the Oath of Office

On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price visited with USMC Col. Eric Buer (retired) about the importance of the Oath of Office should be to those people serving in the military or in government.

In his recent article, Buer wrote “The oath of office taken by our service members is not just a ceremonial formality; it is a profound pledge to uphold our nation’s core values and ideals. The oath provides overarching guidance and a standard of moral conduct. This oath symbolizes an unwavering dedication to defending the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. However, recently, we have witnessed a disturbing trend where political influence seeps into military ranks, casting shadows over how service members interpret and honor their oaths.”
