With that said, do you think crimes committed against SM should also be considered crimes against the government?

We aren't anyone's property thanks to the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution. We are contracted employees who have agreed to the rules and regulation of our military service and the UCMJ.

It is said, but it isn't so.

Service member are human beings, and therefore not property.

But we are "property" because we signed a contract signing ourselves over to whatever the government tells us to do. It's not a nice word to think about in regards to ourselves but essentially we are/were government property.

I think it would be a good idea. It would make it so that the government would be more accountable for the people that serve it. Also have the government pay more attention to what's going on with its people.
