No one wants to do all the paperwork required to do that. You also have to take it to court and that takes up a lot of time. If your job is to run a ship, you don't want to be in court 90% of the time dealing with stupid shit like this. That's the mentality anyway. I'm not saying it's right, but you'll rarely see people get the punishment for what's in the UCMJ unless it's something like murder. Think of it like a plea bargain. Courts say they're too busy, so prosecutors get accused criminals to plead guilty, criminals get less jail time, and everyone wins except society.
I worked for a guy that took every AWOL soldier to a court martial, which was pretty awesome, but that's a rarity.
As a non american I just asked an american liberal friend about this, and they said that the military is allowed to do this unless it is at a political rally. Something about freedom of speech and how the military must defend the constitution over the president.
I'm going to assume they're wrong because what fucking military would allow this, even in the land of the free?
Service members do not have the same rights as non-service members. We give up our rights for a period of time in order to ensure the rights of others.
You don't give up all your rights. That's a common misconception. You still have 4th Amendment rights, for example, even in the barracks. But at the same time, the military does have a valid interest in making sure the barracks are clean, orderly, and not full of dead hookers and cocaine so they're allowed to do inspections that otherwise wouldn't be allowed.
Military members still have rights, but some are curtailed. For example, in the U.S. the police can't (legally) walk into your house and search for drugs without a warrant. The military can walk through the barracks and do inspections and if they find drugs in the course of that, they can still send you to jail, but if they're actually doing an illegal search and not an inspection then the case will get thrown out. They can still search your stuff, but there are different rules around it.
So freedom of speech you still have, but you can't be insubordinate and you can't disparage the President. You can be politically active and protest, but Yu can't be political while in uniform. You also can't do other obvious stuff like publish classified material that's been leaked to the press, although that's protected under the 1st Amendment for civilians.
No, that's not correct. As individual citizens, military members are the same as everyone else. In uniform and/or on duty, the are not allowed to display political behaviors.
I'm sure her BLM boyfriend has a stable job to support her 50 Big Mac's a day habbit.
No way.
She insulted her commander in chief, the top of her chain of command. Insubordination can result in dishonorable discharge.
I'm no longer convinced the military is full of patriots who will back us when these commies take over our government. I think we're on our own.
"Can".
I'm telling you, she will get her wrist slapped. Bank on it.
"Can".
The reality is that a BCD only accompanies real crimes and are very costly and time consuming. NJP is cheaper faster and harder to fight.

And she just walked all over her service contract and will pay hell. She won't see civi world for at least 6 months.
Not allowed in uniform.
