WTSherman, <First, it is against military regs to criticize civilian leaders. So, members of the military don't have any "right" to do this as long as they are on active service.> What does it mean to "criticize civilian leaders"? I have a good friend who went to West Point. He's a lifetime Republican, a fan of Rush Limbaugh, a conservative of conservatives, and (no surprise) a constant critic of his Commander-In-Chief. And he's currently an officer, a 1st Lieutenant. What would constitute forbidden criticism in his case? <If officers, particularly senior officers start criticizing their civilian superiors then each incoming administration will try to weed out officers from high command that might criticize or embarrass them.> I'll be honest, I don't know enough to argue against you, but I still get the feeling that your argument flies in the face of the oath that every member of the military makes. Can anyone who served or is serving in the military step in here? Tenchusatsu
