GMAFB!!! Art, when did you get out of the military? Would you admit
that things change in fifty years? Hell, the UCMJ was written long
after the Articles of War!

Plus, in the military, there are many lavels of non-judicial punishment.
Stuff that doesn't appear as a 'conviction. Consider many minor offenses. A
speeding ticket.

1, and you get talked to by the 1st Sgt
Second, and you may get a (for enlisted) Letter of Counseling
Third one...and you get a 'stern' talking to, and a Letter of Reprimand
The fourth one may lead to an Article 15 (loss of pay, etc)

In the civilian world, that would have been 4 individual convictions.
