Who Exactly are the "Oath Keepers"?

Very interesting story from CNN correspondent Jim Acosta on the anti-President group; "The Oath Keepers".

You may very well be wondering; "Who are the Oath Keepers"?, they are a growing group - militant in nature and growing more so by the day apparently. They are led by Stewart Rhodes, a former Army Paratrooper, and aid to Congressman Ron Paul.

What makes them dangerous is that they blatantly claim to swear an Oath to the Constitution, but not to the President. In addition, they are actively and openly recruiting serving military personnel and sworn Law Enforcement Officers. Thus, they are not concerned about providing paramilitary training to their members.

These people are not hiding in the bushes either. Between get togethers in a Las Vegas Casino and displaying their "Oath Keepers" insignia on their US military uniforms overses, they may become a real force with which to be reckoned.
