Is 'Adultery' in the Military a Crime?
(another interesting article: Is Cheating A Mental Disorder?)
With all the talk going around about a certain politcal candidates' adultery, lets take minute and look at this: Adultery In The Military.
According to a report by Rod Powers,who had 23 years in the military, Rod says he gets angry emails from wives' who are upset because they perceive that the military did nothing about their way-ward husband's wicked ways, or they are angry because the military did not punish their husbands' for cheating on them.
So...what does the military do?
According to Rod, you may be surprised to learn that adultery is not listed as an offense in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). The UCMJ is a federal law, enacted by Congress, to govern legal discipline and court martials for members of the armed forces. Articles 77 through 134 of the UCMJ encompasses the "punitive offenses" (these are crimes one can be prosecuted for). None of those articles specifically mentions adultery.
Rod says that the 'offense' is actually prosecuted under Article 134, which is also known as the "General Article." Article 134 simply prohibits conduct which is of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, or conduct which is prejudicial to good order and discipline. Adultery.
