I keep hearing from the anti-Oathkeepers crowd things like "None of that would ever happen!" or "They would NEVER receive orders like those!" when referring to the 10 orders the Oathkeepers have sworn not to obey. However, if the chances of them receiving those orders are soooooooooooo remote, if even the concept of it is sooooooooo ridiculous, then why are they opposed to them disobeying these orders that they will supposedly never receive? What is the harm in that?

This brings me to the conclusion that the haters of the Oathkeepers for some reason WANT our police and military to enforce these obviously unconstitutional and illegal orders in the event that they are ever issued. This makes me even more wary and untrusting of the organizations opposing the Oathkeepers.

For the most part, I think the majority of official Oathkeepers are retired military and law enforcement. They are no longer worried that their membership with Oathkeepers will reflect negatively on their employment status. HOWEVER, I believe there are a LOT more unofficial Oathkeepers than official, and I think they are keeping that their own little secret or between only a few guys they work with, for job security purposes. The plus side of this is that there are covert Oathkeepers EVERYWHERE. Also, there are a LOT of good people who would totally agree with everything that Oathkeepers stands for, except they haven't yet even heard of it yet.
