No, we want a military which obeys the orders of the Commander in Chief. Don’t you?
Trump won’t always be the President. But the President will always be the CIC. The Constitution says so.
Exactly. They weren’t swearing to obey Trump, they were swearing to obey the orders of the President of the United States. Right now that happens to be Trump. It used to be Obama. Who knows who it will be next. That oath is not to a person, it is to an office.

It’s ridiculous soccer players are expected to take an oath about the Constitution and obeying orders of the President.
Is this common in other sports?
The sound you hear is me banging my head against a wall.
The soccer players were not taking that oath, enlistees to the military were. Allegedly, the Thorns and their fans were supposed to be showing respect to the military by watching the military enlistees do their Oath of Enlistment.

They cheered the military people and booed the man who is president only because he betrayed his country to win. I salute them.
Nope. They disrespected the military. Just because it's part of their oath, it does not give the fans the OK to do what they did. These men and/women are putting their lives on the line for the idiots who blew an enlistment oath out of proportion.
Quote:
“I, __________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States 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.”
They seemed to miss that first part of their oath.
