miss it, but since questions are routinely punctuated with question marks I only entertained part of the comment. My guess is that you are not a prior servicemember or you would have, at a minimum, a working knowledge of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The two different criminal proceedings you cited were during the tenure of two different military commanders who made the decisions that he/she saw fit. A General Court-Martial is not quite like a trial in a state court. There are no structured sentencing guidelines. And, no, I'm not an attorney.
