I'm pretty sure that what your sarge had in mind was that he doesn't give a crap whether you have opinions or not. Soldiers are not expected to have opinions, they're expected to do as they're told.
But the simile is not entirely wasted, because IMHO opinions on books you haven't read are worth exactly the same as what comes out of those things we're all supposed to have according to your sergeant.
