I’m waiting for @Ten to starting writing with the intent to communicate versus writing with the intent to posture.
I don’t know how to stoop to some levels, dick head, although granted, you wrote that publicly to appeal to the crowd regardless, didn’t you?
It’s a flaw. Yours sees to be reacting to it.
…and not your militarized civilian codes of mass conduct and a presumably tribunal justice system.
Wherein you reveal yourself ignorant of another topic.
The UCMJ and Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) is remarkable in both its fairness and ability to make punishments fit a given transgression. An accused, who has access to legal help via the SJA people, is brought before to whomever has UCMJ authority over him (usually his commander), informed of charges and instructed on rights under the UCMJ, presented with the evidence of the case, and given the opportunity to accept the NJP or opt for a Court Martial (generally a bad idea unless absolutely provably innocent as the punishments are more severe). If the accused elects to accept the NJP, he can present any extenuating or mitigating circumstances, and have other service members speak on his behalf.
Punishment is dependent on rank of the accused and rank of the UCMJ authority (company grade, field grade) and can range from an oral or written reprimand, to extra duty, loss of rank, restriction to quarters, partial loss of pay, or short stints in the stockade/brig, or combinations thereof. Punishment decided upon is based on what is allowed for a given transgression, extenuating or mitigating circumstances, and consideration of the service member’s record.
It would be straightforward enough to make a civilian version by leaving out military specific offenses (e.g., being chronically late for formation) and adapting the punishments. Instead of being restricted to post and being given 14 days waxing the floor of the motor pool garage, our little Communette could be restricted to dorm and classrooms and given 14 days on the I-10 litter chain gang.* It really is not that big of a conceptual leap.

Yet there you are.
*In many parts of South Flyoverlandia low security prisoners are used in “road crews” to collect litter, mow, or weed wack along highways. They are also referred to, in a sardonic reference to the past, as “chain gangs” despite their remarkable lack of actual chains. You may now resume your hyperventilation

If you guys don’t sit down and behave, I will tell the story of how I got EACH ONE of these surgical scars.

Let’s go with “topic”, then.
Muldoon, oscillating between the natural reaction people will have to various flip projections (plural) in a particular context, tl;drs some back-filling and huffs off after providing additional antique snark. As if delivering the definitive sermon very specifically on the topic somehow nullifies its upshot.
Looks to me like the upshot rather defines it, Muldoon. Thing is, you’d also already peddled it and it was pretty much authoritarian collectivism by any reasonable lights already, intended to apply some codified uniform militarized ethics to a civilian class found incapable of instilling it itself.
What, are rightists inherently immune to ideas on masters and subjects? Apparently not. Good thing you were speaking rhetorically and for effect.
Given that particular context few would bother with it Muldoon, but you can see where an occasional detractor could observe that the right has become so ostensible and flaccid that it can no longer identify its formative principles. Given its rhetoric, it seems to have it all mixed up in slogans and reactionism, not to repeat myself.
