17 (1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.—The require-
18 ment to detain a person in military custody under
19 this section does not extend to citizens of the United
20 States.
But, notwithstanding the obligation, it appears to be authorized...or does it?
One section appears to authorize, the other appears to say it is not required. Artful draftsmanship to authorize tyranny but not mandate it.
“The requirement to detain”
This does not mean they cannot elect to. Read the bill carefully.
