For those who aren't familiar with the oath taken by a US Servicemen AND the POTUS (Pres of the US), here it is.
“I, (your name), 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; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
Today there are many who would strike the words "swear" and "God". I didn't.

Yah if you've served that long under those conditions you must know at least as much as JVD and well you have as much right to be in the minority as he has.
Oh and as far as I can see on the official government site the oath is not as above. It's this:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
