It is wrong, yes, as far as I know. Otherwise, members of the military would effectively not be citizens. Otherwise, they couldn't run for office (which they are allowed to, but in order to take office, they have to resign). Otherwise, they would have no say on how the country is run because they couldn't even petition Congress to pass laws against actions by superiors. They couldn't petition the courts for relief when a superior did something wrong. Say a superior sexually assaulted a subordinate. If what you said was true, that subordinate could never tell anybody. That's absurd. And when I was in, we were allowed to be critical of superiors as long as we obeyed every lawful order.
