The military justice system (UCMJ) exists because active duty military members give up various rights when they leave the civilian world.
For example, while living on base, military police can search your room, car, or person with a warrant.
You don’t have a 12 member jury of your peers when up for a court-marshal.
You can be questioned without an attorney present and Miranda rights don’t apply to you.
And most importantly, you can be ordered to do something that is dangerous to your health, safety, life, on pain of death (not done anymore) or prison time. (This is why I’m annoyed when police call non-police “civilians”.)
Given this fact, its plain to see that the rules for the military are different than the rules outside of the military. You know this going in. You want to live by civilian rules and take advantage of all the benefits offered in the civilian world...don’t join the military.
This is why I chose not to join the military. I couldn’t even keep hitting the button during the hearing test. I’d have gone awol for sure the first time some dimwit Drill Sgt told me to do something I thought was stupid.
