Personally I think it's a bit of overkill to recite the pledge more than once in your life. Are they worried that I might have changed my mind some time between the last time I said it a week ago, and today?
I pledged my allegiance in 1st grade. My allegiance hasn't changed since then. If it does, I'll move somewhere else, and then I'll make the pledge to the new country. Once.
I wouldn't mind if the pledge was to the Constitution, instead of to the flag, because cloth rips, fades, shreds, burns, rots - and words are forever.
