Get off it. You don’t have the same rights in the military as you do in the civilian world. You operate under the jurisdiction of the UCMJ.

That does not change the fact that the military does not operate outside the Constitution of the United States, and you make it clear that you have never actually read or even understand the Constitution of the United States. No other person could make such an absurd argument that the United States military operates outside the Constitution.

Any soldier that tried to argue to his superiors about his “rights” under the Constitution would be assigned to KP.

Look, instead of just uttering the word "Constitution," why don't you take a little break from here and sit down and actually read it for once in your life. Then you might come to understand how our country and its military works and just how absurd your argument here is.

If you get stuck on some of the bigger words, just let me know and I'll be happy to help you out.

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.

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. They have juries that are comprised exclusively of military personnel or officers. These groups serve as both "judge and jury" and render verdicts. This obviously constitutes a violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
