When you were in the Army and a senior officer told you to do something,
I'll bet you thought it was the right thing to do.

Are you as stupid as you were then?


What a revealing statement of how you think Harry.

First of all, the military isn't a democracy. It makes no difference if you
happen to agree with or think it is right. One is required to obey all
*lawful* orders.

Second, it's not unique to the military. Lunch time conversations in many
civilian jobs are often full of complaints of company rules, procedures or
policies. They may not be agreed to or thought of as being "right" but they
are adhered to. The only difference is that if you don't like it you can
quit.

In fact, as I think about it, there are more things in civilian life that I
am forced to accept but don't think is "right".
