An adult would also know that one’s personal feelings on a subject occasionally need to take a back seat to the realities of the situation. If you were in the army your sergeant would be telling you “Soldier, shut up and soldier”.
You're not my #%@&ing sergeant. And demanding military obedience and submission from your civilian population proves your desire to undermine the American way of life in favor of a totalitarian police state. North Korea expects its citizens to "soldier up". Soviet Russia expected its people to "soldier up". Communism, Fascism and every other -ism requires the masses to "soldier up" for the greater good. If you don't understand that such an attitude should never bleed into the civilian side of a free society, then you shouldn't have left mindless conformity of military culture.
