Military Justice Code Enforces Unusual Discipline Rules

Military regulations often contain rules that seem outdated or overly strict to those who serve, such as the prohibition of dueling and the criminalization of profanity, which can lead to severe punishments like dishonorable discharge or confinement. These rules, rooted in historical contexts, sometimes appear disconnected from modern military life, raising questions about their relevance today. Meanwhile, broader concerns about the justice system's fairness are highlighted in a discussion about 'lawfare,' where legal processes are allegedly weaponized to suppress dissent and intimidate political opponents, illustrating the complexities of legal and political power in contemporary America.
