OK. What about this idea........

Military man with family is accused of a heinous crime he is innocent of, docked of all pay and benefits - his family starves, his house is foreclosed on, his car is repossessed, and such will continue until he ‘speeds up the process’ and admits to whatever they want him to admit to.

Do you see a problem with that?

You've got a point there. but that's true even if the accused is not a military man. Suppose a civilian is picked up for a crime and sits in jail for six months waiting for his trial.

Who takes care of his family in that case? Should the government - who put him there in the first place - pay his bills until trial? Or should his employer be forced to continue to pay him every two weeks?

A citizen taxpayer should have no fewer rights than someone who works for the government.
