So what you are saying is that while I am serving, I am not entitled to a public opinion? I have to keep my mouth shut and be a good little soldier? To be honest, if Obama asked me what I thought of him, I'd be honest and say I do not like him but I will follow his orders to the letter. I've told my leadership more than once in the past I don't like them if I don't, but also have said that my opinion of them personally does not change the fact that I will still follow their orders no matter what, unless that order is illegal or immoral.
