I think you both have good points. On the one hand, it's hard to sympathize with soldiers and police officers when they enforce laws that we/they see as unjust. On the other hand, the current political system is so large and bogged down that it seems almost impossible for the average person to really be heard, and it takes an extraordinary amount of force and time to have those unjust laws questioned and repealed. Even when people vote, our system dominated by just two parties can come off as a "pick your poison" kind of situation.
