"Your judicial rights aren't violated at all."

Name a civilian job where you can be prosecuted for being late for work (AWOL, Missing movement)?

Name a civilian job where you can be prosecuted for adultry? (It has been prosecuted under Article 134)

Until recently, many people were prosecuted for homosexual activities. Name somewhere else in America where that could have happened?

"You can quit the military when your contract is up, and often before it's up, depending on the circumstances."

You are clearly being disingenious chaplain. You know as well as I do that you can't just wake up in the morning and say I don't feel like being in the army anymore.

Point of fact is that we who served in the military (I did it for 22 years) go into it knowing that we don't get to enjoy all the rights of an American citizen. And again, what I am suggesting (not allowing military personnel to get married until they attain a certain rank) is not some radical new idea. It is something that was practiced in the military years ago.

There's an old saying in the Marine Corps, if the Marines wanted you to have a wife, they would have issued her to you. While funny, there's a lot of truth to it.
