The Wulfson Case and its implications for the future

From The Guardian's editorial on United States v. Wulfson, a recent U.S. Air Force general court-martial at RAF Lakenheath:

It’s easy to see how US military justice on British soil serves the interests of the US military. It’s unclear how it serves those hosting them. The current US administration is allergic to calls for military transparency or accountability, and disdainful of its allies. Yet its bases overseas are under increasing scrutiny, especially because of Donald Trump’s illegal war on Iran. In the long run, the US will find it hard to maintain public acceptance of those facilities without accepting greater scrutiny.
