Nah, the paradigm right now is "The galxay is run by an all seeing military autocracy, who like to tell us about the evil-stand in for-Islam-menace it is protecting us from because they are evulz, and personal freedom is how the evil-SIFI-menace will destroy us" because the military is always right. It's equally split between the writers who fervently believe that is right and we should be allowed to commit horrendous warcrimes and Judge Dredd style antics, and those who are rightly sending up the whole thing as bullshit.
