Thread Name: Sedition, At What Point...
Subject: RE: Sedition, At What Point...
Clint, that's the was all military organizations have been since time began. I don't know -or care- if you have combat experience, but when the Man says "GO", you don't have time for a committee meeting to decide if that's waht you want to do. Implicit and instant obedience is necessary and any action that foments dissention must be stopped.
Otherwise you, and all your unit can die rather quickly.
When you join the Army et.al. you give up certain rights and the right to openly criticize superior officers is one of them. This is true in just about every army I've ever heard of.
