would imagine that boards of inquiry would not recommend a court
martial unless conviction is almost certain.



Exactly right.

Exactly wrong, as numerous other posters have already pointed out.

But in some cases the recommendation becomes the verdict no
matter what and regardless of whether it was UCMJ or Articles of War.

That is an unsupportable statement.

See
Private Slovik for example which would have turned out the same no matter
what..

Horsecrap. Pure and utter horsecrap. Which is about par for the course when
it comes to Art's rants about anything outside the extremely narrow scope of
the operations of hisown particular B-26 unit during WWII.
