Re: Can a U.S. soldier vote against his/her commander in chief?
They are captive to the oath they choose , by their own free will, to take in reguards to their nation, and to the organization. Part of that is respecting the Commander in Chief. It is not so much the person, as the position. This is due to the job they are doing.

Re: Can a U.S. soldier vote against his/her commander in chief?
Respect for the office doesn't mean that you have to support the person who holds the office to another term.
The respect is given to the OFFICE as commander in chief of the armed forces.
That being said.. there are psychological reasons for support.. but it is not demanded by their job per say.
