No. This is a matter of justice, no matter whose uniform you wear or what club you join.

of course not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Code_of_Military_Justic... matters like absence without leave, contempt towards officials, etc have no place in the civilian justice system.

if you don't like this, you'll need to change the US constitution. "The Congress shall have Power... To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval forces."

As much as I would like to agree, I don't. The parent comment you replied to is right.

Right because one day someone decided to make those rules and put them on paper.

Just like the rules they're putting on paper regarding civilians nowadays.

So, uhm, I don't think its right. I think it's following the paper. It's lawful, it's expected, etc. But it's not "right".
