No. You need to stop making excuses for your own laziness and take the time to actually read the Constitution. It's not like it's some 300 page novel or anything. Even if you have to use your finger, you can probably get through it in an hour or so.

Avoiding the issue once again.

My best friend served in the 82nd Airborne Division. you could get court-martialed and placed behind bars for all sorts of transgressions that you wouldn't penalized for in the civilian world.

There's no reason to sue anyone as the military does not operate outside of the Constitution in any way, shape or form. Again, READ THE DAMNED THING! Educate yourself. It's our founding document for crying out loud!

Does the separate legal code of the UCMJ with its separate system of courts constitute a violation of the equal protection clause of 14th Amendment...? You have a panel of military officers serving as judge and jury and sentencing soldiers to prison for (non-military) crimes committed against civilians outside of military installations. Does this constitute proper "justice" under the Constitution...?

No, you're the one avoiding the issue once again. That being your blatant ignorance of this country's Constitution.

My best friend served in the 82nd Airborne Division. you could get court-martialed and placed behind bars for all sorts of transgressions that you wouldn't penalized for in the civilian world.

I don't care about your best friend. What I care about are people, and especially Americans--which I assume you are--who yammer on and on about the Constitution, but who demonstrate that they've never actually READ the document by making such incredibly ignorant claims such as yours that the military operates OUTSIDE the Constitution.

Any American should be deeply embarrassed by such ignorance of our founding document, and take steps to correct such ignorance. But instead, you just keep saying the same ignorant things over and over again.

And I think it's especially worth noting that at no time during this discussion have you once tried to defend yourself by saying you HAVE read the Constitution.

So in spite of my just assuming that you haven't, you really haven't actually read it, I mean the whole thing, have you?
