It has been a question in my mind since I was old enough to realize what was going on, of what value is an involuntary pledge? We begin in First Grade with the ritual, which for anyone at that age is completely incomprehensible. Later, in High School, I recall the teacher explaining somewhat apologetically, that the pledge would now include the words, under God. For a pledge to make sense, it should be with a full understanding of what is being pledged, To tell the truth, To Love Honor and Obey, To Protect and Defend, etc.. To make a pledge as part of a group recital, so as not to seem disrespectful or avoid attracting attention, but simply to do what is expected, seems to minimize, indeed trivialize, what should be a serious and considered decision, to make a serious committment to something. https://youtube/watch?v=I1X4wE8XxOk
