I'm assuming this is because of the death penalty, but military courts actually use the death penalty WAY less than any others. Additionally, military courts are MUCH more "fair" (not necessarily lenient) in their rules and procedures than most jurisdictions, at least in my opinion.

"Namby-pamby" is entirely misplaced here. If anything, military courts are less likely to enact the strictest penalty (assuming that's death, in your opinion).

I'd assume he'll still be put to death as a result, but he'll be a marked rarity.
