Commander Smith has a great misconception. A military is meant to protect all people of the United States and to ensure that our Constitutional Rights are upheld. The military has long been a social experiment. Just ask Blacks, Filipinos, Asian, Chicano, etc. Americans who were treated terribly in the military, as a lesser being. A "rigid moral standard" is what Chelsa Manning and other displayed when they exposed the lack of moral integrity in the AMERICAN Government actions at the highest level. We should all be grateful and support the " Whistleblowers".
