Obviously, no one chooses to die but people that protect our country face that result on a daily basis.
Because they hope the motto will bring the tourists.
It reminds me of when the State was removing the French from some of our highway signs because our official State language is English. The fear of it hurting tourism from Quebec became an issue.

But even supporting an oath to the US Constitution has become episodic...
SCOTUS ruled against Texas, but the NG are trying to follow orders.

We will see the same thing in NH. The SWEPT has been declared by our courts to be an unconstitutional tax. We shouldn't be paying it in June... but who among us is going to risk the interest and possible loss of property?
They certainly are not going to be willing to ''die'' over the issue.
