This gives each service the ability to charge a wider range of alleged misconduct
In some cases, the government will use the military-specific offenses as a “catch-all” if their other charged offenses are weak. They only want a conviction, so at the end of the day, the military-specific offense is irrelevant as long as the conviction is received. Do not think for a moment that a presumably trivial accusation will go away. If the prosecution wants to make an example out of someone, they will use whatever lawful means at their disposal to ensure “justice” is done. Our team has the experience to thwart these accusations and preserve careers.
