Armed Forces Bill

That is amazing because, if they were independent legal authorities, we would not have a court martial system, and civil and criminal law would apply across the board. Military legal authorities can cherry-pick if they wish. Such Bills come up for review by the House only rarely. We should therefore take the opportunity now to get rid of the excessive sentence that is applied and which can be applied to those who have serious conscientious objections, for example, to the war in Iraq.
