Under DOD plan, soliciting prostitute would be a career-ending offense
Next year, troops buying it could face dishonorable discharge and jail time under a proposed change to the Uniform Code of Military Justice, officials told Congress on Tuesday. The Pentagon wants to add to the UCMJ a charge specifically addressing prostitution, and affixing a maximum punishment of one year of confinement and a dishonorable discharge for anyone convicted of paying a prostitute for sex , Charles Abell, principal deputy undersecretary for defense for personnel and readiness, told the House Armed Services Committee. And if approved, the charge would be applicable even in countries where prostitution is legal, Abell said. He anticipates the drafted Article 134 of the UCMJ will become military law early next year; it now is part of the 2004 annual review of proposed amendments to the Manual for Courts-Martial that began this month, and is undergoing the mandatory 60-day public notice and comment period after being published in the Federal Register.
Back in my day spending a little hard earned cash for some booty was the norm. Even the CO was getting some nookie.
