UCMJ recommendations have been ignored and my case is a pure example of the failures of UCMJ

UCMJ FACE LIFT

The Cox Commission Recommendations for the Uniform Code of Military Justice

If you have the time to read this it will both educate you and literally upset you...

In 2002, Captain Kevin J. Barry USCG (Ret.), wrote this paper laying out the history, deficiencies and recommendations to save and improve the essence of UCMJ.
Captain Barry is now in private practice, served on active duty with the U.S. Coast Guard for twenty-five years, during which he had assignments at sea and
a variety of legal duties, including chief trial judge and appellate military judge.

An educated and highly experienced military judge makes the most powerful quote in the paper...

"The U.S. military justice system today so far deviates from the norms of fundamental fairness that it is improbable that any UCMJ conviction could be
upheld if measured against the minimum standards applicable to every other U.S. criminal justice system and virtually all of our allies’ military justice systems. No system so deficient in fundamental fairness should be tolerated or allowed to continue to operate."

Lives are being lost - Careers are being Destroyed
Families are being Broken and Innocent men and women are going to jail.

I hope you will be upset and take action to call for the overhaul of UCMJ.  Its time for it to evolve and be a true system of justice.
Our sons and daughters deserve to serve our Nation without fear.
