Sarge,

As a soldier, would you mind sending some angry letters to the papers, news outlets, etc.? You have "gravitas".

There's only one problem.

While we have a whole raft of guys who are firebrand conservatives (and a few Libertarians), and we discourse in the billets, we are STRONGLY discouraged from showing any activism in public.

This is because, as soldiers, it makes the image of government egtting involved in civil liberties - or some such nonsense. We're suposed to be "above the fray", as it were.

All that aside, we still vote. But that's silent. You folks are our voices, because we can't advocate for ourselves.
