Happy New Year

​Greetings and we at CAAFlog wish you a Happy, Healthy, and Successful New Year.
 
In doing so, we wish to publicly thank all of the support engineers in the boiler-room who help bring the military law news to you. They are each young and enthusiastic. Many of them will become judge advocates when they graduate, so you will 'meet' them again.
 
We will leave you with a traditional blessing that you have 'fair winds and following seas.'

Not to throw cold water on anything. It has to be a better year this year. But here are three stories about soldier lately:

Why is this important? Here is what I would say:
POD is fine, but soldiers are people first. If these service members can be subject to violence in the forms that appear to be undertaken here, they should have the protections of a robust system of checks on Government efforts. Justice won't be served by a sloppy resolution of these cases. Nor would it be served in any case. This UCMJ system has been hemmed in by squealing appeals to indignation. At least as to certain appellate functions.

A better year would be spent resolving the system in favor of protecting service members in the justice system.

Are you referring to the elimination of factual sufficiency review?

Certainly in terms of what can happen at the appeal level. Also, UCI protections, but trial judges should be dealing with that.
