However, because they also swear to, "... obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me..." There is less of a safeguard against laws and rulers who defy the Constitution. Officers swear to only support and defend the Constitution. Officers *should* be willing to defend that at all costs; despite opposition from commanding officers or the President. Articles 90-92 of the UCMJ only require obedience to *lawful* orders. The flip side of this is article 94--how likely is it that someone who is not following, "lawful orders", would be charged with mutiny? Military uniforms are horrible.
