Via the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), the military can dole out discipline in the same ways as ordinary employers -- such as via loss of pay, suspension, firing, and so on. In addition, it can prosecute and punish behavior in military court leading to imprisonment. That's something a regular job could not do. Is that valid? Should soldiers have to function under a whole different legal system than civilians? Why shouldn't crimes by soldiers be prosecuted in ordinary courts?
