Why do we say the pledge of alligence EVERYDAY?

Question

Just wondering why. Are they gonna try to force us into army by saying "you pledged to america to serve us" or some conspiracy like that?

Answer 1

Standard protocol.

Answer 2

I think you should take a trip to a country that has very little freedom and ask them why we should say the pledge of allegiance everyday.  As far as your conspiracy theory - ridiculous.  Would never happen.  This is America - we have many freedoms which includes an army that does not use KGB types of tactics.

Answer 3

Because you live in the United States every day, and need to be reminded how remarkable a gift that is, and that it's cost has been measured in blood.  And yes, there will likely be a revival of the draft in the near future.  You will receive a letter from your neighbors at the draft board that begins "Greetings..."

Answer 4

Can you explain. Are you in school or somewhere else where you are told to say it? I don't say it. Yes, it is a brainwashing so you are promising to keep cause you live on a certain peice of land rather than honoring your spirit that would never guide you to do that.

Answer 5

"We" who?  I haven't said, or been asked to say, the pledge on a daily basis in decades.  Joining the military is an entirely different commitment.

Answer 6

There is something  to consider which is that even if the result is a war or  terrorist attacks people use oil powered cars. This then is their true allegiance. The famous words ask not what your country can do for you but what you country can be for your car instead. A  Patriotism around the car should be the choice if there is honesty. I pledge allegiance to The Nomad Nation and The Cars which people ride in. If people think about it The Car not America, not The U.S.A.  not The Nation has become the emblem of America. Ask people how to define a American culture and they will mention the car. Army Units should have patches of specific cars. A mystique around cars and amphibious vehicles as opposed to Navy Seals , Marines, and such. People if this is what they want should then be forthright and build war around such. Accept terrorist attacks as a price. If not then sign Non Proliferation Treaty on cars. Dismantle and have done.

Answer 7

Was it in Spanish? Here in AZ we keep finding schools saying it in Spanish, not saying it at all, or in at least 1 case pledging allegiance to Mexico!

Answer 8

Most people do not say the Pledge of Allegiance daily.  It is only required by law to be said in schools and a further law allows anyone to refuse to stand or to say the pledge without consequence or question.
