I can't condone the conduct of any senior officer who has an affair with a subordinate - not only on moral grounds, but for reasons of discipline and operational effectiveness.

I do not, however, think that this case or any other case I've heard of justifies taking jurisdiction over sexual assaults and other "major crimes" away from the military.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I am in full agreement with you. The jurisdiction lies fully within the UCMJ and the courts thereof.
