ASTRONAUT COULD FACE COURT-MARTIAL!!

Nowak just sank her career, experts say

"The case has no doubt landed in the laps of the chief of naval operations and top Navy lawyers at the Pentagon, Hutson and other lawyers said. And how they handle discipline in this case could revive the controversy over unequal punishment in the ranks -- known as 'different spanks for different ranks.'"

JAG Hunter here: Interestingly, former Navy TJAG, Hutson, is himself an accused criminal for his misconduct in the handling of another military discipline case. Hutson knows all about the privileges of rank.

WORDS MEAN THINGS

Clever JAGs and command racketeers use modern language to misinform and confuse the general public regarding the real workings of the military discipline system.

Describing commissioned military officers as "military judges," is like calling Punxsutawney Phil a weather man.

Guy Montag, a major character in Ray Bradbury's famous Fahrenheit 451, is described a "Fireman." But in Bradbury's world the conditions of Montag's employment require the "Fireman" to set books afire and murder citizens. Bradbury's "Firemen" do not to protect lives or property.

They take them.

Military panels are not juries, nor do they operate in any way as a federal jury. Courts-martial are not federal courts. Commissioned military officers described as military judges are not federal judges. Military due process is not civilian "due process." There can be no appeals in a world absent courts, juries, and judges. In the military there are instead reviews of command decisions.

And so it goes.

Here endth the lesson.
