You declare the court-martial conviction rate to be 99.5% on the basis of your perusal of a number of transcripts. But the composition of a record of trial by court-martial varies greatly according to the result of the trial. An acquittal might yield very little in the way of a transcript because there is no need for formal appellate review.
You declare that military subordinates have no choice but to obey their military superiors. But everybody knows how the "just following orders" thing worked out at Nuremberg, and trial defense counsel (in the Air Force, at least) have operated autonomously from the command structure since the mid-1970s.
Your willingness to cast harsh judgments on thin premises is startling.
A guy who insisted all year long that the world would end on December 31 didn't become wrong on January 1. He was wrong all along.
