Oh really...? Ask any person who has actually served in the Army or Marines if "freedom of speech" actually operates in the same way that it does for civilians in civilian life.

No. You need to stop making excuses for your own laziness and take the time to actually read the Constitution. It's not like it's some 300 page novel or anything. Even if you have to use your finger, you can probably get through it in an hour or so.

Well, then just for starters, we need to sue the military for operating under its own separate set of legal codes as well as its own collection of military tribunals and courts.

There's no reason to sue anyone as the military does not operate outside of the Constitution in any way, shape or form. Again, READ THE DAMNED THING! Educate yourself. It's our founding document for crying out loud!

Avoiding the issue once again.

My best friend served in the 82nd Airborne Division. you could get court-martialed and placed behind bars for all sorts of transgressions that you wouldn't penalized for in the civilian world.

Does the separate legal code of the UCMJ with its separate system of courts constitute a violation of the equal protection clause of 14th Amendment...? You have a panel of military officers serving as judge and jury and sentencing soldiers to prison for (non-military) crimes committed against civilians outside of military installations. Does this constitute proper "justice" under the Constitution...?
