How does the bill offend you?
Excluding commanders from prosecution decisions in serious cases would not reduce incidents of sexual misconduct, or add anything to the many options that persons suffering abuse already have. Military prosecutors frequently pursue cases that civilian authorities would avoid. What the legislation could do is shift power to Pentagon feminists and pressure groups who demand their version of "justice" no matter what the evidence shows.
When political pressure from within the chain of command interferes with due process, justice can denied. What the military calls "command interference" has resulted in dismissals of scores of cases, due to violations of due process for the accused. In a recent example reported by the Marine Corps Times and Washington Times, Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos asked a military convening authority to "crush" junior Marines accused of desecrating Taliban corpses. Pressure such as this violates rights of due process − the only way to achieve true justice for all.
