Views, opinions, SOPs, orders, & laws...
Views or opinions are meaningless to a member of the US armed forces.
Anyone on active duty must comply or follow the federal laws, SOPs, lawfull orders, or regulations.
The SecDef, no matter who it is, is in the formal chain of command & if DoD policy or a base commander issues a order it MUST be followed.
Thats how the UCMJ(Uniform Code of Military Justice) works.
As I posted, after the huge Ft Hood shooting incident & a few other high profile incidents(some terrorist related), the US military & DoD changed a lot of rules/SOPs.
