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



Exactly right. But in some cases the recommendation becomes the verdict
no
matter what and regardless of whether it was UCMJ or Articles of War. See
Private Slovik for example which would have turned out the same no matter
what..

Slovik DID desrt his unit, you know.

He and 10,000 other guys. But only he was executed.
