Big problem today though: The fucking lawyers (nearly) run the military, and commanders are scared sh*tless to do ANYTHING without the JAGs approval.
Its a freaking cancer on the military (though to be fair, its simply a symptom of the disease that has ruined American life - we are an over-lawyered and over-regulated society).

As an aside, when Dad came back, he was put in an office on Market Street, in San Francisco with nothing to do, while his CO was writing Washington daily, complaining that he didn’t have enough staff to accomplish his “mission.” Back then, the brass were worried about being demoted a rank or two now that the war was over and they were thinking about ongoing costs and pension benefits. When my Dad got out, he went from Lt. Commander, to Lt.
I wondered, that once gays could openly serve, how many of them would infiltrate the JAG offices?
