Avoiding the issue once again.

No, you're the one avoiding the issue once again. That being your blatant ignorance of this country's Constitution.

My best friend served in the 82nd Airborne Division. you could get court-martialed and placed behind bars for all sorts of transgressions that you wouldn't penalized for in the civilian world.

I don't care about your best friend. What I care about are people, and especially Americans--which I assume you are--who yammer on and on about the Constitution, but who demonstrate that they've never actually READ the document by making such incredibly ignorant claims such as yours that the military operates OUTSIDE the Constitution.

Any American should be deeply embarrassed by such ignorance of our founding document, and take steps to correct such ignorance. But instead, you just keep saying the same ignorant things over and over again.

And I think it's especially worth noting that at no time during this discussion have you once tried to defend yourself by saying you HAVE read the Constitution.

So in spite of my just assuming that you haven't, you really haven't actually read it, I mean the whole thing, have you?

Nope, you still haven't answered my specific questions.

So in spite of my just assuming that you haven't, you really haven't actually read it, I mean the whole thing, have you?

Again, avoiding the issue.

There are two separate jurisdictions: one for civilians and another, under the UCMJ, for the military. Different rules and procedures for each.
