Room for One Loyalty

To the American People

An estimated 23,380 American citizens currently serve in Israeli military ranks, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

Now wait … stay with this a minute. FYI, here is the oath of allegiance required of EVERY new citizen of the USA:

“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God.”

Reasonable, right?

SO ! Let’s get this right. Every new citizen must utterly renounce allegiance to any other country, but once you’re “in” you can do whatever you want ? Go ahead and give allegiance to an Arab potentate, but keep your citizenship? Bomb and massacre Palestinian children and women, grandmothers and grandfathers on the order of the Israel state and that’s ok?

Why is this allowed ? Why isn’t serving in another nation’s army SCORNED in this country, if not outright banned ? Is it actually against the law but not enforced? WHY is an American congressman not SCORNED or shunned for wearing his IDF uniform into the Capitol Buidling? Is this patriotism or overt sedition?

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
― Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States
