By the UCMJ...once you admit a crime...its on record, and the court-martial is very quick. You have very little defense...and these investigators have gotten very smart over the past five years. If you did a crime...admitting so...you spend time in jail, period.

Then they should be arrested and charged as soon as they finish “confessing”.

In addition, there is no statute of limitations on felonies, like murder, in the UCMJ (only the relevant portion of the article is cited with emphasis added):

§ 843. Art. 43. Statute of limitations

(a) A person charged with absence without leave or missing movement in time of war, or with any offense punishable by death, may be tried and punished at any time without limitation.
(b)(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section (article), a person charged with an offense is not liable to be tried by courtmartial if the offense was committed more than five years before the receipt of sworn charges and specifications by an officer exercising summary court-martial jurisdiction over the command.
(2)(A) A person charged with having committed a child abuse offense against a child is liable to be tried by court-martial if the sworn charges and specifications are received before the child attains the age of 25 years by an officer exercising summary court-martial jurisdiction with respect to that person.
(B) In subparagraph (A), the term “child abuse offense” means an act that involves sexual or physical abuse of a person who has not attained the age of 16 years and constitutes any of the following offenses:
(i) Rape or carnal knowledge in violation of section 920 of this title (article 120).
(ii) Maiming in violation of section 924 of this title (article 124).
(iii) Sodomy in violation of section 925 of this title (article 125).
(iv) Aggravated assault or assault consummated by a battery in violation of section 928 of this title (article 128).
(v) Indecent assault, assault with intent to commit murder, voluntary manslaughter, rape, or sodomy, or indecent acts or liberties with a child in violation of section 934 of this title (article 134).

So go ahead Mr. Iraq Veterans Against the War, name names, dates, and places.
