Military law and civilian law are two entirely different things. If the assault was reported to the unit commander or the military police - and nothing was done, there is very little that someone outside the military can do. You can write a letter to your Congressperson to see if you can get them interested in your case, but other than that, someone outside the system can do very little. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Depends. If you were assaulted by another Soldier, you can report it to your NCOIC and work your way up the chain. If you have done that and no action is taken, you can call and report the issue to IG (inspector General). This department is there to assist Soldiers with issues/actions they feel are wrong. When reported, no person can take any unfair action against you or they would get in big trouble. They will look into the issue, contact your unit and hold a complete investigation. If they find any unfair treatment, it will be corrected. Trust me, units I'm an 11 Army SFC stationed in GA

The commander who is imposing punishment may proceed with a hearing unless a Soldier decides to do what?

The commander may proceed with a hearing unless the Soldier requests trial by court-martial.


What kind of punishment would a US soldier get into for transporting his M16 in his privately owned vehicle?

Both military and civil charges could result from this incident. The problem is that not enough information is disclosed in the question. Is the soldier within the US or in a foreign country? Is the soldier under military orders to transport his issued weapon? Is the weapon secured according to orders and regulations? Did the soldier brandish or display the weapon while this "transporting" occurred?


Does The Soldier has a right to know if his medical information was released to law enforcement?

Yes, the soldier has a right to know if his medical information was released to law enforcement. Health information privacy laws, such as HIPAA in the United States, require that individuals be notified if their medical information is disclosed to third parties without their consent. The soldier can request this information from their healthcare provider.


How are soldiers better than civilians?

That is not necessarily true. Many would say it is because they are braver; after all they are willing to fight and risk their lives. However, a soldier is only better than a civilian in the case that the former believes what he is doing is right, and he is fighting for the right reasons. In another case, where a civilian is not a soldier because he believes that the war is being fought for the wrong reasons, he may be better than the soldier. Additionally, any soldier who commits a war crime is automatically not as good as a civilian who would not commit such a war crime. Overall, it gets very complicated and depends on someone's values and beliefs. For example, under these standards, a Nazi soldier who believed he was doing a good thing would be considered better than an American citizen who was too afraid to fight. Hopefully I didn't confuse you too much.


Can a wife take all money earned by soldier deployed overseas and leave him broke when he comes home legally in Texas when she lives with her parents?

In Texas, community property laws typically require that both spouses have equal rights to assets accumulated during the marriage, regardless of who earned them. If a wife takes all the money earned by a soldier deployed overseas, it could potentially be considered a violation of those laws. However, specific legal advice should be sought to address the nuances of the situation.
