WT - you are 100% correct. Since the military are not allowed to stand up for their own rights it is all the more important that the rest of us do it for them.

WTSherman, <If military personnel start getting involved in politics, criticizing their civilian leaders, etc., then the military will become subject to loyalty examinations by each incoming administration.> Since when was criticism considered an act of disloyalty? As long as they uphold the law of the land and obey legal orders, the military can criticize all they want. As for the loyalty issue, each soldier pledges loyalty to the Constitution of the United States, not to any single person or group of people. Like I just said, they can criticize all they want, but they are bound by the Constitution to obey their Commander-In-Chief. So you needn't worry about "loyalty examinations," because a soldier's loyalty doesn't work that way. <I know most Republicans don't like to think, but, they should try it once in a while.> Try telling that to any person in the military, along with your argument that military personnel should not criticize their civilian leaders.
