The military culture is one in which questioning orders or superiors is not allowed.

There is a difference between "questioning orders" and expressing one's constitutionally-protected free speech and political leanings.

This is a cop out. There are thousands of black soldiers, and a few whites, who expressed support for Obama.

What you said is patently false. Soldiers have absolute freedom to express their views publicly or otherwise. And that includes opposing the war or the president.

This is Dave's son we're discussing. I'm sure, being raised by Dave, he's every bit as much of a heel-clicking authority-worshiping fascist as his dad.

I'm sure he'd torture, kill children, kill helpless wounded, kill old men and women and anything else he was ordered to do. His superiors know what's best, and I'm sure he accepts that without question, just as Dave would - as long as THEY were fascists too.
