I think most all will follow their oaths as they understand those oaths to be. Our concern should be not that they are deliberately violating their oath but rather that their interpretation of what they've sworn to uphold, what they have been told they have been swearing to uphold, is different than what the citizens of the US understand that they've sworn to uphold.

When I took the Oath at the age of 18, I didn't even know the particularities of the Constitution. During basic training and training thereafter, I learned to FOLLOW ORDERS of those commanding me. If my Lieutenant told me to bayonet a 16 yrs old girl for crossing over the line into our barracks, well, I best be making some blood flow pretty soon. I was young - I didn't know [bleep] - but I followed orders.
