I first heard of The Uniform Code of Military Justice as an undergrad at PMC Colleges, one of which was Pennsylvania Military College. This is how I know that this article is a Prime Example of Liberal Whining. Capt. Brett Crozier knew that he had sealed his fate when he went outside the chain-of-command with his letter. That he would lose his command was the LEAST that he could expect. This is the “uniform” aspect of military justice, and liberals can whine-all-they-like. He will be lucky to escape with his pension.
