 So different they have their own set of laws called UCMJ

I haven't served.  But I know there is a UCMJ.  But Congress was the author of the UCMJ. They can amend it.  They have the right and the power to question members of the military about many subjects, including possible amendments to the UCMJ.

How do you come to this ridiculous conclusion?  You do know (oh wait... you didn't serve so you don't know) that the military operates under a total different set of laws on top of current Federal, State and Local Laws according to where they happen to be stationed.

Let me give you a little civics lesson since you didn't seem to get it in your government school.

Did you know that the Captain of a Navy ship could order a sailor confined and only given bread and water?  This without a trial by Judge and Jury?  Think it doesn't happen?  I've seen it.

Second of all, a member of the military is under the command of the Executive branch of government who's ultimate Commander and Chief is The President of The United States.  Congress has 0% power over any military member.

My point is, with your ignorance regarding the military you probably shouldn't be commenting on what they "can and can't" do or whether a career move is "lateral".
