do you think it is good to OBEY FIRST before you COMPLAIN?

...me too i hate that military mambo jambo word...but personally i sometimes obey first before i complaint if i know it's for my own good but if is not....expect my disaggrement...

it really depends on the person really.. specially if you're not in the military.. but if you're in a company, group, or organization that applies such discipline, then theres no way to get away from it. "discipline" because it requires such, and much respect to the person, or "rank", giving the order.

I definitely complain first, then I obey (usually). In my job, I have the technical knowledge and my higher-up bosses don't know much. Sometimes they'll ask me to do something that is just plain wrong or needlessly messy. Whenever they tell me something like this I try to explain to them why it's wrong or useless, and then I usually do it anyway. Then a few weeks later they realize their mistake and I can go back to doing things the right way. Now my immediate supervisor (who has technical knowledge) has gotten good at arguing with the higher-up bosses, so I don't have to deal with this much anymore.

Yes, I can't agree with you anymore.

Usually, I have to obey first for various reasons, but then I will complain. For most people, we have choices to follow on our own,however, we want to do it this way, but we can not do it that way. Sometimes, we have to obey command instead of following our own ideas. If one only tend to complain without any actions, I think them as lacking a sense of responsibility.
