Oh, it causes quite the hassle for military folks. Quick way for a military spouse to win at divorce.

Claim, or threaten to claim, hubby smacked her around. Not only do you get civilian law enforcement breathing down your throat, but military authorities. And, they remove your access to firearms if there's a protection order against you.

And, the neatest trick of all (sarcasm) is you can be charged for the same incident in civilian courts AND military court - even if you were found not guilty in the civilian court the military side can still find something to go after you for. Oh yeah, and it doesn't count as double jeopardy.
