The “legal” community in each of the services have taken hold of each of them, and many of the bad things in the last ten years have happened due to commanders satisfying what the service lawyers want them to do. Just what Obama wanted.

Sounds like the JAGs are operating like the "political officers" in the old Soviet army.

“Sounds like the JAGs are operating like the “political officers” in the old Soviet army.”

In more and more combat theater operations areas they are; like school teachers and administrators that have to check with their lawyers and union reps before they authorize anything, anything - if anything happens don’t want their own lawyers telling them THEIR INTERPRETATION of the UCMJ and DOD “regs” would have them either not do something or do it different. It’s like “legal” micro-management. No way to run any war.
