Yes, it does. It actually says:
So, are you trying to make the case that Koresh and his group were a threat to the Constitution of the US?
Consider the Posse Comitatus Act and amendments/revisions thereto before you answer.
Because there is NO WAY the use of heavy armor was authorized/justified by either the oath or the Posse Comitatus Act + revisions.
No, not at all Toad. Only proving the lies by the ATF. Drug raid my behind! And to get the military involved? Bah.
In defense of the troops, here are the the General Orders (for the Army at least, I only know the ones for the branch of service I volunteered for):
1. I will guard everything within the limits of my post and quit my post only when properly relieved.
2. I will obey my special orders and perform all of my duties in a military manner.
3. I will report violations of my special orders, emergencies, and anything not covered in my instructions to the commander of the relief.
To do anything less than follow orders is to get yourself or others around you killed. Blah blah, to those who say following orders is robot-like, and no excuse. If you are are a serviceman/woman, your function is to either make or obey orders. You are not authorized to be inventive, clever, or disobdient.
The job may not always be easy, but I don't recall EASY being in the contract. Nor does it say you must like your job. You only need to execute orders precisely and without hesitation.
