Liberals generally hate the military institution because they assume it’s conservative. Mostly its conservatives that assume the military to be conservative.
Here’s the reality: There is almost no religious freedom. All churches are non denominational, religious symbols must not be visible on your uniform. Gun control, No soldier can carry a gun on or off duty except when issued one, and the same with ammo. Going to strip clubs and prostitutes is a common pastime even among married soldiers. There is no capitalism among soldiers. All soldiers are trained to think and act the same way.
I knew plenty of liberals in the army, but mostly nobody talked politics. I had the impression that the troops didn’t have a clue about political issues anyway.
I dont know why some feel they have to justify the rules. The point of my question was not to critize the rules, its about political perceptions of the military.
