Hint: You may want to save some time and focus on the punitive articles: 77-134.

I might also remind you that punitive measures have already been taken in one circumstance, as were warranted for the her particular situation. So, your LACK of knowledge for military matters is blatantly obvious!

Here's more from the UCMJ:

917. ART. 117. PROVOKING SPEECHES OR GESTURES Any person subject to this chapter who uses provoking or reproachful words or gestures towards any other person subject to this chapter shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Click on our name, and see "in forum" why I feel the way I do. Others do too, including my husband. You can read our profile and see that we have served during a time in our nations history were there was "stress" too. We always knew the UCMJ, and we always knew our actions had consequences. Those consequences were set up to protect our troops. Not just to "punish" us and keep us from having fun!

Watch the news (FoxNews) and see why those who have served in war zones understand the importance of this too. We'd have utter chaos if we didn't have rules in the military. Spouses at home expect some kind of sanity and order when their loved ones are away at war too!

The comments I've read on this thread are some of the most immature, irresponsible comments I've ever seen. Thank God the majority of our troops serving on Foreign soil don't think like "some" do on this thread. Or like those who stripped off their uniforms and rolled in mud did!

I posted other articles from the UCMJ, and I'm sure there are more that pertain to this topic. But I have to run. It's out there for all to see. I'm sure those articles were already used to reduce the rank of one of the women involved. I for one am glad she was punished. That she is remorseful, shows she understands how wrong it was to behave that way. That she was punished was imperative and a necessity! We can;t have others follow this example. The military has to regain control of the situation and they have to do so immediately. This isn't a "frat" situation. Only someone who never served, or had problems when they did, wouldn't understand it. We don't have time to hold the hands of our troops or to psycho analyze them.

FRegards
