I think this is the main point that I repeat over and over, the UCMJ is that he swore to uphold and abide by and by THAT rule of law he was tried against.

Being in the military is different than NOT being in the military.

He was also tried for computer fraud and abuse, which I don't think is specifically in the UCMJ.

But I agree with your overall point. He's subject to civilian law and the UCMJ.
