Actually, he can. He can state his opinion to Soldier because:

a) Soldier is not his "boss", he is a very trusted, very respected member.

b) Even if he was Johnny's boss, Johnny can still tell him what he thinks, it's how Soldier takes that.

c) Being nice and not being able to say what you think are two different things Red. Being nice is telling him what you think is the truth, but being respectful about it. By not saying what you think, you are lying both to Soldier and to yourself.
