Given SCOTUS has ruled same sex marriage is legal and that Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DA/DT) is unconstitutional, should Article 125 of the UCMJ be rescinded? Should it still be enforced under the "Good Order and Discipline" clause?
Article 125: Sodomy
(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.
(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

I would chuck everything but the animal part and let people go about their merry way.

Didn't even know that article was still active. Kinda hypocritical after getting rid of the "don't ask don't tell" policy and allowing all sexual orientation to be open. And to add icing on the cake the recent Supreme Court ruling allowing same sex marriage nationwide.
Definitely a current hypocritical rule that needs to get rid of before someone gets a fire up their ass and uses it in retaliation for something else.

No, because it can still cover sexual assault, when there may not be enough evidence of rape.

The way "unnatural carnal copulation" is defined, if you stick your finger in someone's mouth and smile, you have committed the crime.
Keep the animal parts and dump the rest. We have ALL engaged in this, whilst in the darkness of our own rooms/homes, and to claim differently is disingenuous.
