Military Law vs Civilian Law?

Property taxes are a matter of civil law.  If a jurisdiction gets a civil judgment against a military member the military will garnish the member's pay to satisfy the judgment.

Lawful orders?\nAre you military?\n\nThe UCMJ is quite clear on this.  Lawful orders MUST be carried out.

You can look it up in the Bible. There are many laws said by God but perhaps nobody can comply all of them. If a country leader committed himself to the laws of Bible, there would not be so many wars as we do now. Well, I study law but I personally think there is no perfect legal system in this world, everything has its infirmity. It is because human has limited intelligence. A criminal won't think he should be prosecuted; a country leader think he has the right to embark a war, etc. As a Christian, I think the Universal Law has been stated in the Bible and the Lord is the only judge. The "constitutional law" in Bible are "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind." Matthew 22:37 and the second is "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Matthew 22:39. Certainly these are not the only laws in Bible, and many to be discovered if we read through it. Well, I dun mind if you disagree with me and I would like to hear more voices out there.

Which law?\n\nWell, you have a layering of laws... local laws and ordinances then state laws and finally federal law. Outside of this, there is a whole grab bag of family laws, the Uniformed Code of Military Justice laws, business laws... etc.\n\nAs a whole, the answer would have to be that they are subjective unto their individual subjects to varying degrees.\n\nJust a single example though, I would say that certain traffic laws are very subjective because they weren't written with the public safety in mind... but at the behest of the insurance industry.

In the Pentagon, everyone one has a ranking whether they be military or civilian.  This is how seniority is controlled.  This is how authority is controlled.  As an example, if you are a Navy Captain, that is equivalent to a O-7, I believe.  The civilian equivalent to that may be a G-17.  I'm just guessing on that, but I'm not far off.  Those two individuals would then be the same rank and would not have authority one over the other.  However, a Brigedier General would be a O-8 (again, I'm guessing) and he or she would have authority over the latter two.\n\nA civilian government job works much the same way as a military job or rank.  On many bases throughout the world, military and civilians work together, so this pecking order is in place to maintain protocol and decorum.\n\nI might add, time in grade does play a part, most of the time, as far as authority is concerned.  Two people working together with the same G rating would determine which has more time in grade, that person would then have the authority over the other.  Yet, a person of higher authority need not take that into account when making assignments regarding these two individuals.

Follow the rules of engagement. That is all you can do. War ceased to be battle between two distinctly uniformed forces sometime ago. Now we fight people who discard their uniforms in favor of civilian clothing to give them a  perceived advantage in combat. Yes it makes proper identification almost impossible, so the use of force has to be based on actions, not flags or uniforms.

Does the lawyer have to be female? The UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice) has very strict laws pertaining to adultery.\n\nAre you looking for female representation to add a "team" type of environment with your legal counsel? Is it an emotional security issue? \n\nIf you are married to military personnel, have you tried the military legal department? They do have female lawyers who are much more specialized in military law than civilian lawyers. As an upside, they may represent you for free.\n\nI hope this helped.

No, they are not, in most cases.  It is possible to lose your civilian clothes privileges as a punishment, though.

A slander case in civilian courts is a very hard thing to win. The slander has to be said to a third person and proven that it was said- preferably in writing. It's not slander if they said it to your face, basically. \n   In a military court, I donno - you had better inquire of the military atty on your base. Ask them if such a case against the person can even be brought , since they appear to be a civilian. Good luck.

Two personal points: 1. the military serves to uphold our constitutional rights - among the most important is our right to free speech. Even if a soldier were to find public opinion running against the war, in a sense, it's the responsibility to protect the right to hold and express that contrary opinion that lies at the root of duty; and 2. if a military action is unjust, a soldier has the responsibility not to follow illegal orders. This is a contentious point, but think of the prosecution of East German soldiers who shot people trying to escape over the Berlin Wall during the period in which Germany was divided. The soldiers got serious prison time for following orders that were later adjudged to have been illegal.\n\nThere is a narrow line between personal responsibility and insubordination, but in the case of Iraq, there are situations in which I think that that line needs to be pointed out, if we're doing that on the homefront, well, it may be because our civilian leaders have lost track of the ethical basis on which just wars should be waged.

Well, don't let 'em fool ya.  They have almost all the same rights as a regular citizen.  Pretty much the same privelages, except they have the privelage of serving their country.  And the obligation depends on the contract signed.  Yes, I said contract.  We have a 100% all volunteer military.  I know that will come as a shock to some liberals out there, but everyone in todays military is there because they CHOSE to be there.  They have an obligation to themselves to finish what they volunteered to do.

International humanitarian law (IHL), also known as the law of war, the laws and customs of war or the law of armed conflict, is the legal corpus "comprised of the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Regulations, as well as subsequent treaties, case law, and customary international law." [1] It defines the conduct and responsibilities of belligerent nations, neutral nations and individuals engaged in warfare, in relation to each other and to protected persons, usually meaning civilians.\n\nThe law is mandatory for nations bound by the appropriate treaties. There are also other customary unwritten rules of war, many of which were explored at the Nuremberg War Trials. By extension, they also define both the permissive rights of these powers as well as prohibitions on their conduct when dealing with irregular forces and non-signatories.

At least the American military tries to limit civilian casualties....not so with many foreign military forces.

well, if he is somewhere where alchohol is forbidden( say the litter box, for instance),then yeah, a  Court martial is definitely legal.  he's probably being made an example of, at his age, and I also assume his rank as an NCO, he should have known better than to disobey a direct order.  Now he has to pay the piper.
