Since when are the military supposed to have overt political opinions? I thought it was part of their job duties to not question authority and carry out orders. It’s not like a private sector job where ppl just run their mouth and do whatever they want all day. In their private life military ppl have political views but not in the course of their work.

Small point of order: The UCMJ fully allows anyone, enlisted or officer, to refuse to carry out illegal and/or unconstitutional orders.
It was put there specifically to avoid the bullshit excuse of "I was just following orders".
So from this article then, they only want people who either cannot discern or at least won't refuse an unconstitutional order.
