A bit about oaths -

The Oath of Office is a solemn oath taken by officers of the United States Uniformed Services on commissioning.

It differs slightly from that of the oath of enlistment that enlisted members recite when they enter the service.
It is statutory ( required by law) and is prescribed by Section 3331, Title 5, United States Code.
It is traditional for officers to recite the oath upon promotion but as long as the officer's service is continuous this is not actually required. 

One notable difference between the officer and enlisted oaths is that the oath taken by officers does not include any provision to obey orders; while enlisted personnel are bound by the Uniform Code of Military Justice to obey lawful order, officers in the service of the United States are bound by this oath to disobey any order that violates the Constitution of the United States.

This the oath for commissioned officers:

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God." (DA Form 71, 1 August 1959, for officers.)(Source)

Note that, "So help me God," is not required to be said if the speaker has a personal or moral objections, as is true of all oaths administered by the United States government. Also note that this is not an oath to defend any specific territory or persons or property. 

This is an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. 
Note also that there is no duration defined in the Oath.

This is the oath for enlisted personnel:

"I, _____, 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; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God." (Title 10, US Code; Act of 5 May 1960 replacing the wording first adopted in 1789, with amendment effective 5 October 1962)(Source) 

This the presidential oath of office:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States, and I will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States."

I love my incandescent light bulbs! 
Why would I want to pay five times as much for a light bulb that gives of 1/3 less light and is a chemical hazard if it breaks?  
Can we repeal that law (And it IS a law!)? 
Can we be rid of the regulation that affects my ability to comfortably read a book that tells me how foolish the folks in Congress were to pass a law telling me what kind of light bulbs I must use?

Are the powers that be going to have their own nuclear power plant so they can have electricity and stay cool or warm ? 
The rest of us will be searching for wood to burn (which will probably be against the law) or we will be making hand fans out of popsicle sticks and pieces of paper.

Ever thought about how important electrity is?  
Probably only when you don't have any.  
And then you think about how much you can't do when the electricity is out.  
A fairly small thing like the electricity going out affects an awful lot.

How do you affect other people?  
Are you rude to a person?  
Do you cut in front of someone while you're driving?  
Do you frown and grunt when your spouse talks to you - or do you smile, let the other guy go ahead of you, respond in a positive way to a comment or question?
Kindness, smiles, and joy can go a long way in not only making your day pleasant but also someone else's.

Have you even noticed the sole of your foot doesn't start to itch until you're trying to fall asleep?
Why does the largest mosquito's buzzing in your ears wake you from the best dream you've had in weeks?
Ever notice when someone gives you a house plant you don't like it, you can't kill it no matter what you do?
