I have a different view. I think that when we join the service we willingly surrender some of our rights. As a civilian, I can decide whether I want to quit a job. I can decide what time I want to get up in the morning. I can decide whether I want to shine my shoes or not. I can call the Prime Minister a jerk if I want to, in public, and there's nothing anyone can do to me. But when I decide to join the service, I give up all of those rights. People tell me when to get up. They tell me what clothes I'm going to wear and what condition the clothes have to be in. I'm not permitted to voice my political opinions publicly. All this comes with joining a military organization.
