In other words, not following an order to fire upon American citizens or to even confiscate legal firearms from American citizens.
But that misses the point - focusing on not depriving people of their legal "gun ownership" is silly because the right to carry arms is a distraction, an illusion intentionally created to make people believe that weapons offer them some kind of protection from "the powers that be", and as long as they have their guns, all will be ok. And wasting time trying to convince the military to disobey orders to attack American citizens or deprive them of their weapons is just that, a waste of time, it distracts from the REAL work that can make a REAL difference because it targets the root of the REAL issue.
And that's just the point, to keep people arguing over inconsequential "rights" while their psychological, emotional, bio-chemical, and spiritual health has been corrupted beyond belief, and their access to objective knowledge extremely curbed, and while all institutions on the planet have been taken over and corrupted by psychopaths. This makes our "right to bear arms" completely irrelevant and silly and distracting - as is asking the military to be nice to the citizens when government tells them to hurt us. The military is not hurting us right now - it is everything else, and that's what we should focus on, because if you fix THAT, then the military will never receive orders to attack us in the first place.

And I think THAT is the point of the Oathkeepers movement - not allowing the "mercenary mind-set" types to take over our military or police.
And how do they go about "not allowing" this? The psychopaths in power are in charge of the kind of mind-set the military that THEY sponsor and create and maintain, have. Until the psychopaths are not running everything, we have no ability to "not allow" anything, period.

Our military and police should be comprised of regular American citizens - citizens with ethics and a conscience!
Well first of all there is no such thing as "should be" - things just are the way they are because of our world being the way it is - if you, I, or anyone else doesn't like it, then we should first understand why things are this way before we blindly and naively try to "change" anything, applying our energy and efforts in fruitless and ignorant and ineffective ways.
It is the same for the Work on yourself - when you begin, you start observing your programs and you are instantly tempted to try to "change" them because they can be scary and disturbing, but you cannot fix the way you think with the way you think, you cannot change yourself for the better without having an understanding of exactly how to change yourself to make it effective and proper and healthy - otherwise you'll be acting FROM your predator to try to get rid of your predator, and will only mess things up, just spinning your wheels.
You could say a lot of things "should be", and the composition of our military is not even high on that list if you really want to evaluate the state of this world. Everything about our world is toxic on every level - perhaps none of it "should be" toxic, but it is. This is just another symptom of the global pathological toxicity, it isn't wrong to point it out and be aware that it's there, but it's wrong to focus on it in search of a solution because that will not be effective to stop the pathocracy's total domination and destruction of everything and everyone.

As was pointed out in the video, the Nuremberg Trials made it clear that following orders was not justification for committing atrocities. The point that 95% of the clergy in Nazi Germany condoned the holocaust against the Jews was also raised to say, let's not allow this to happen again!
Again, this is all good stuff to use to get people to get angry at how things are - but this stuff cannot be used to "fix" anything - the angry person needs to be directed to REAL understanding of underlying issues and where to channel their energy, which in turn will address these symptoms of the pathocracy, all of them.

Like it or not, what's being talked about in the first long video and the shorter followup video, are real issues and real situations.
They are real symptoms, certainly important and good to know, but not the area to focus on for a fix. It's like being stuck in prison and complaining that the food there tastes bad, and demanding better food. Or maybe complaining about the sharpness of the barbed-wire fences, or the malfunctioning air conditioner in your prison cell. All those uncomfortable things are a result of you being in prison, and can be used to get people pissed off at their situation, but then their energy should be channeled to escape the prison by addressing the reason they are there in the first place, but Alex Jones essentially channels the energy into screaming at the prison chef. Or worse yet, an armed uprising that will end up with all the prisoners gassed to death.
