A leaked Oaf Creepers list names 20 current military members. The Pentagon could have prevented this

When they enlisted in the military, they swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, and to obey the orders all the way up to those from the president of the United States.

But then, while still in the service, they went on to swear a different allegiance – one to the now extremist, anti-government Oath Keepers. Dozens of military members vowed they would never obey potential government orders that group leaders considered acts of war or cause for a revolution.

At least 20 are still serving.

USA TODAY confirmed with all five branches of the U.S. military that 81 people signed up for the Oath Keepers while in uniform. The names are from a hacked list that a watchdog group shared with journalists last fall. The military members are in addition to the 40 current and former law enforcement officers USA TODAY confirmed in October 2021.

at the very least. They should also be subject to investigation by the respective criminal units of their branches for domestic terrorist links.

this group organize as an offshoot of the teaparty revolutionaries. That network led by a family that is three generations into its war on democracy in the U.S.A.
