I beleive so...UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) can get mid-evil under war conditions.

I heard on FOX earlier that 9 out of the 13 Muslim military chaplains are of the wahabi style Islam of Saudi Arabia and Al Queda.
What is the defence department thinking hiring them?

This is the definitive death penalty case in the military.

This is a death penalty case, isn't it?

Yes. And lest people get confused, it does not matter if any soldiers died in this attack. The attack itself is treason by a member of the armed forces in the face of the enemy.

The maximum penalty is death by firing squad.
