I believe the UCMJ permits field execution for such cases in active combat zones.
Uniform Code of Military Justice, read it years back. Anyone who can find this provision on line today is a better man than me. Somewhere in article 77 or 120.
These guys and gals dump out more data than the frigging nyt.
Everyone knows how these things work out on the ground anyhow.
You know how our society thinks male on male rape in prision is funny or of no real consequence...I think the military has picked up some of that attitude.
I would be perfectly fine with me if a victim- male or female - executed her or his military rapist. However, if it is dependent upon a higher up’s decision to execute, it looks doubtful because they are not taking it as seriously as it is.
They might have 50,000 male victims of homosexual rape. Heterosexual males don’t really have any protection from this in culture or in legal activism. Gays have protection to be as aggressive as they want to be sexually. There is a serious imbalance of power and heterosexual men are going to suffer from that.
I believe that is still true; the UCMJ lists the relevant penalties, and those allowing for immediate execution are appended with "... shall be punished by death or such punishment as a court-martial may direct." See ART. 99. MISBEHAVIOR BEFORE THE ENEMY under Section X: Punitive Articles for example.
