Military Justice in the Political Imagination

In these polarized times, one notices more regular invocations of military courts by those on the partisan fringes. In their imaginations, military justice functions as a kind of wrecking ball past the stasis and hurdles of civilian criminal justice, resulting in swift and severe punishment of high political enemies. This image may be accurate with respect to Myanmar or some other countries, but as we all know it is false here. Still, many people think that it is right, and we should be worried about that.
