The above photo was submitted by an active duty Oath Keeper in Mosul Iraq, sporting an Oath Keepers tab. As his other tab and patch make clear, he is also a “Three Percenter.” (see below) The photo was also posted over at the Sipsey Street Irregulars blog with this message: Just thought the WRSA [Western Rifle Shooters Association] and the Sipsey Street boys might like to see what we are wearing while over here in Iraq. We . . . know what the deal is, and when the time comes (which it will), we know where we stand and continue to make preparations for it. Keep up the good work! Regards from Mosul, K7C All I can say to that is Hooah! Thank you for your service, K7C, and for stepping up. Give our best regards to your brothers in arms, and let them know we have your six back home. If any of you need anything at all, from socks to helmets, to body armor, just ask and it will be provided. We need you to stay safe and come home healthy. Oath Keepers here stateside, let your brothers on active duty in Iraq know how you feel. They do come here to read comments, count on that. Note that the tab in the photo is not the same tab we sell here on our site (which is more of a police style tab). We are having military ACU style tabs with velcro made up, but they are not yet finished. That means the troops are having their own Oath Keeper tabs made up! And no, we did not put them up to it. They are doing this on their own initiative. So take heart! The message of the oath and its obligations is spreading, and the Guardians of the Republic are listening and responding. And every time you act to spread the message, by whatever means, you cannot know what impact you will have, or how far it will reach. That’s why it’s so crucial that we each do what we can to reach, teach, and inspire as many active duty as possible about their obligation to defend the Constitution and their duty to refuse unlawful orders that would violate the rights of their fellow Americans. Upcoming Outreach Effort to Put Tabs, DVD’s, and OK Handbooks in the Hands of Active Duty Coincidentally, the tabs those troops are wearing are almost exactly like the tabs we are having made for our upcoming care package initiative, which will put an Oath Keeper tab, DVD, Oath Keepers handbook, copy of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and other outreach materials, into the hands of active duty deployed worldwide. We plan on launching that effort on Veteran’s Day, November 11 and continuing right on through Bill of Rights Day, December 15, with the goal of delivering all the care packages by Christmas. Now imagine what that will be like! Tens of thousands of our troops reached with the message and a tab. I will post more details very soon. What’s a Three Percenter? Now, seeing the other tab and patch in the photo, you may ask “what is a three percenter?” The narrowest definition is that three percenters are hard-line gun owners who are done backing up and will not comply with more infringements of their right to bear arms. A broader definition would be that they are hard-line Americans who are done backing up and will not comply with further infringement of any of their rights. It also alludes to the three percent of the colonists who took to the field against the King during the Revolution, and the estimation that at least three percent of modern Americans will actively fight, if it comes to it, to preserve liberty. Read this essay for more explanation. Oath Keepers and Three Percenters are separate groups, but it is not a surprise to see people who consider themselves both an Oath Keeper and a Three Percenter. If you read the supplied links you will see why. While we Oath Keepers have a specialized mission of outreach to current serving, focused on the oath and on refusing to obey unlawful orders, there’s lots of common ground and shared commitment to the Republic among both groups. Go here to read what the Sipsey Street blog has to say about that. Oath Keepers, expect to see more of these tabs popping up soon, even before we begin our care package initiative. You are making a real difference. Keep up the good work! For the Republic, Stewart Rhodes

It is almost as if Americans are infiltrating the military. Such has to be a worry to the perfumed Generals and the government.
This is something I didn't see coming. These last few days, however, have me more hopeful that at least part of the military might fight on the right side of the line when it's drawn in the sand. With 10% on our side, we're gold.
I suspect when McChrystal forced Obamas hand, the rest of the Army took note. As for odds, I would give even money that there IS a thread connecting some of these events. This thread has to have Obama and his knee padders worried, they cannot just laugh it off and have another drink, to do so would be foolish on their part. This constant delaying with more and more "conferences" to decide what to do is a huge example of a president that is very weak and vacillating.
McChrystal yelled "HELP" to which Obama ordered up a half dozen meetings with college professors and professional political hacks. This hasn't been lost on the real men left in the military, and those with behind the scenes organizational skill.
I thought the REAL men were being taught how to suck a dick and collect a paycheck from the taxpayers doing nothing but enjoying a tour of duty. Over the years, you never really know for sure.
Come on buck, do you file and pay your obeisance to your USRaeli / Globalist Commie overlords ???

Consider me a bit dignified in these respects. Or is that too much to ask?
