She now has passed, so has my allegiance.
(Marines - dont know much law unsurprisingly )
did the oaths contain "heirs and successors" ? - I think an oath of allegiance is like the cubby-wubbies ( once a cub and dyb dyb dyb, always a cub)
do I walk past an injured man and kick him, and say "Ha I used to have to stop and treat these specimens" ?
Police were invited to 're-new' their oaths, but that is because they are er different to Marines. The idea is to take the oath and mean it this time.
