Just for giggles I read parts of the Articles of War about 20 years ago. They
were exceptionally harsh towards enlisteds.

Correct. Although it tough to giggle while reading the articles of war. They
were cruel and unfair. One man could get 10 days restriction to quarters while
for the same offense another man could get 20 years at hard labor in Alcatraz.
But under either system, the military will have its way. As I told Ed, if a
General wants a court marshal to come out a certain way, that is the way it
will damn well come out. Articles of war or UCMJ.
