President Joe Biden on Friday ordered a historic change to the Uniform Code of Military Justice by transferring key decision-making authorities outside the military chain of command in cases of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, murder and other serious crimes.

    I was commenting on if it is worth their time. I find it to be a wholely unjustified statement given the fact that they actually conduct justice unlike civilian juridictions. If it wasn’t worth their time, they wouldn’t be addressing it.

      So you’ve already made up your mind and don’t care what facts and testimony is presented to you?

      I hope you see the fucking irony in that.

        I addressed specific points. You have leveled an accusation without addressing my point. What are you expecting in response?

        I have had this command authority before. I’m not going to sit here and tell you that ucmj is perfect but it’s the best we can do and it is better than the civilian sector. That should end the conversation right there. Your comments are like the pot calling the kettle black. If you have a better suggestion, why has it not been implemented yet literally anywhere?

        Complaining about the way things are without a suggestion is worse than unhelpful because it increases discontent which leads to more conflict.

        Thinking you know better than literal experts speaks for itself. I hope you see the irony in that.

          You didn’t address shit, you said ‘were better than theirs’ and left it at that.

          Your word, from someone who sat in this corrupted chain of command, should be all I need to trust that you’re the best? That’s gonna be a hard fuck you from me.

          Your attitude toward this is exactly why you shouldn’t have jurisdiction over it.

            I commented on if the accusations were worth the military’s time. It is apparently worth the military’s time more than the civilian justice system’s time.

            Statement -> rebuttal

            You can take your ignorant self and go fuck yourself. You don’t even know how little you know about this issue yet you opine pretty strongly about opinions you THINK I have.

            While I wholely support a civilian controlled military, your attitude towards this is why civilians make horrible military governance.
