"We are not Wal-Mart"

If Congress were to move toward removing officers from their role in adjudicating under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, it would be “devastating,” [Lt. Gen. David] Quantock said. “We are not Wal-Mart; we send soldiers to do dangerous things,” he said. “We would become a Third World country if the Army removed commanders from the [UCMJ].”

Lt. Gen. Quantock, Inspector General of the U.S. Army, spoke at a recent hearing before a subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee, reported by Defense One here.

Logical implication: the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Israel, and so forth, either already are Third World countries or are on there way there. Really.
