[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 2775743, member: 13624"] Not really. It is very well-settled law that, by joining, servicemembers give up a lot of their rights. The First Amendment is also curtailed: criticizing the President--"core political speech," perhaps the most protected type of speech for civilians--is severely restricted for those subject to his command authority. By volunteering--and let's remember, it's an all-volunteer force--and taking the oath, one gives up a good deal of freedom...including the freedom to walk away. It's a choice. I'm glad that people make that choice, and I think highly of them for doing so, but we should bear in mind that they chose to waive those freedoms. [/QUOTE]
