Some of these things I did to my kids growing up. Number one. Number three. LOL
If you screw up your cashier duties at McDonald’s, chances are your boss won’t smoke you, unless he wants a harassment suit brought against him. In the military world, we live by a different set of rules and laws, one in which we forfeit many of our previously enjoyed rights and freedoms. The U.S. armed forces follow the Uniform Code of Military Justice, a set of legal conventions that was born from the 69 Articles of War in 1775. Although our current rendition of the UCMJ wasn’t signed into law until 1950 by President Harry S. Truman, it sure feels as though some of the punishments contained within its bindings date back to colonial times.

The military is rich in tradition and "we" are a society within the larger society. "We" also live by a separate set of rules that sets "us" apart from those who don't raise their right hand. In reality most articles don't really get applied, even though during peace time they can be, unless during an armed conflict. Colonial, maybe..however "we" must embrace the suck..

There's a lot that wouldn't fly in the civilian world, because a lot of them wouldn't be able to handle it.

Some of it is against the civilian law. Confinement- Kidnapping, held against will, etc.
