A quick take on the issue dominating the news FWIW. The suspects who are subject to the UCMJ were member s of a Military-Police unit. Jurisdictions with limited budgets like to hire former MPs as cops. Now, as a rule, not every former MP will be a good cop "...but that's the way to bet." In the case of those misfits doing that stuff in the pictures, IMHO the thought of any one of them in civilian life with a badge and a gun is chilling.

A Dishonorable Discharge would nearly eliminate that possibility for each of those creeps. It's that important. And (from a 20-year Enlisted) there is no way any of them could plead '...just following orders' or ignorance. At their level, it would have been hard to do more damage had they set out to damage America's credibility and every other Service-member's odds of making it home standing. That fairly shouts that it's possible they (or some of them) meant to do just that. So it would not be an over-reaction, if a General Court Martial directs that each of them be dishonorably discharged from the Service. RKBA! Regards, all.
