Just FYI, use of the uniformed code of military justice allows for due process,

Just FYI, the "Uniform" part is how the military justice is dispensed, i.e. regardless of rank or anything else(not that they wear a uniform), and it strictly applies to US servicemen just like civil law applies to us all, I don't think the UCMJ is going to be their guideline.
