US Army Oath of Enlistment, soldiers have to swear their loyalty to the President of the United States.

Bei der großen Militärparade in Washington DC gab es auch eine Angelobung von neuen Soldaten. Eine Gelegenheit den amerikanischen Treueeid im Wortlaut zu hören.

Interessant ist in diesem Zusammenhang, dass die Soldaten nicht nur den Vorgesetzten ihre Treue schwören müssen, sondern auch ausdrücklich dem Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten (Donald Trump), das kommt ausdrücklich im Gelöbnistext vor. Und es gibt auch eine Referenz an Gott, was für ein säkulares Land ungewöhnlich ist.

Die entsprechende Zeremonie fängt im Video ab 1:57:00 an.

US Army Oath of Enlistment

I, _____, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States (of America) against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; 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.

(Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962).

During the big military parade in Washington DC, new soldiers were also sworn in. This was an opportunity to hear the wording of the American oath of allegiance.

It is interesting to note that soldiers must swear allegiance not only to their superiors, but also explicitly to the President of the United States (Donald Trump), which is explicitly stated in the oath text. There is also a reference to God, which is unusual for a secular country.

The ceremony begins at 1:57:00 in the video.

I think God is mentioned in other countries too

Pretty weird explicit mention to the president name

This is not correct, it’s to the constitution. The president is the commmander and chief so he is the top of chain of command so they obviously need to follow the orders by president who is elected by the people. But the actual oath is not to the president. It’s to the constitution. It’s pretty clear these are two separated things in oath.

In a democracy, the president is the representative of all citizens, whether we like it or not.

After all, he is the commander in chief.

Der US Präsi ist der höchste Befehlshaber deswegen wundert mich das wenig.
Bei der AmtseinfĂĽhrung waren auch 2 Kirchenvertreter und Bibel am Start.

It's been a part of the US for quite a while, and the President is the commander in chief. So I think it is kind of expected.

it’s to the constitution, not the president. The oath says that clearly. Of course they must follow orders of the president, the president is the commander & chief at top of chain of command, and is the people’s elected representative. Bit the oath is clear and to the constitution. Respectfully you have misrepresented this in title. It says clearly in post these two statements. No it is not a path to president, it’s to constitution. Than secondly agreeing to the respect chain of command and follow the commander & chiefs orders.

Thx for the clarification, the oath is to the constitution but they have to follow the orders of the president as well.

The good old oath of office. I had to make the same oath when I joined the Army as an officer years ago. I spent over twenty years in the reserves and active duty. The US Armed Forces are under command of the president, no matter who it happens to be.

I got to see all sorts of exotic vacation spots in those years, the lovely deserts of Iraq and the beautiful mountain ranges of Afghanistan.
