here. This seems a worthwhile step, but how about a single disciplinary statute for all services? Or seeing to the many other things needed for a military justice system that satisfies contemporary global norms, such as a proper military trial bench with terms of office sufficient to ensure judicial independence, and shifting charging power from commanders to lawyers independent of the chain of command?
