That was not my assertion. 99.9% of people in the military don't have any say over what orders they are given and there are a billion different reasons why people enlist, so I don't really think it's possible to generalize there.
I was merely pointing out that your statement appeared, to me, to be contradictory. And whether or not that man knows the constitution, he still belongs to the same apparatus that you are criticizing.
It seems he has become acutely aware however of the hypocrisy of clamping down on US citizens using the Protect & Serve people who should be engaged in other more honorable tasks. There area a growing number of vets who feel the same if you have been following the trend. So much so that returning vets are now being eyed rather closely as potential lone-wolf terrorists.

Uniform is not a stage prop to grand stand for the camera fella. Hard to imagine some grand discovery of 'no honor' once time is served that wasn't already suggested to going in prior...4 tours? Chances are and I'm willing to bet half the cops he's breaking off on have, are or will serve in a uniform of same stripe.
Stage prop or not, youre missing the point. Just listen to his words. There is no honor in police dressing as if they are getting ready for the Battle of the Bulge, batoning people who have the right constitutionally to assemble peacfeully and freely. Why do people always get lost in the minutia and the pedantry of trying to discredit someone like that marine who is making valid points? It seems to be the trend the past 10 years or so. Someone says clearly "A", and rather than discussing "A" the listener says "Yeah but look at who said 'A', therefore it cannot be valid." This is called faulty syllogistic reasoning and I beliebe you are guilty of it. Everyone on earth has some degree of hypocrisy. Therefore noone has the credibility to speak about an issue? Wrong way to think IMO.
