This post reminds me of the foolish movies and images Hollywood portrays of military personnel. The truth is far, (I mean way out far), from what you've described via this one conversation.

If that person in the military answered the question in that way, he is obviously ignorant as hell toward the responsibilities of military personnel. We are required to follow the Constitution and all "lawful orders" given.

Military personnel receive extensive training in rights and responsibilities as it pertains to these kind of issues. So, this conversation either took place a long while ago, or he or she is clueless and needs a lot of guidance and additional training from someone senior in rank.

Passing off this kind of a conversation and insinuating it represents a broad based attitude is anti-military and demonstrates a lack of experience and knowledge of military personnel.

It would be equivalent to me having one conversation with a corrupt lawyer who believed in gaming the system at the expense of the law, then portraying my fear that all lawyers are dangerous.
