    It sounds not unlike the US laws either. Formal title is "Uniform Code of Military Justice". Our most common offenses are AWOL or Disorderly Conduct, again, like in Ireland, a lot of this is handled at the Company Level but you have the options of taking it higher.

      There is an old DMP act that created the offence of "furious riding of a horse". It is frequently used today when dealing with certain elements who frequent the Smithfield market. It is only on the statute books for the dublin metropolitan area.
      If the horse was frawthing at the mouth, that was sufficient evidence to suggest it was being ridden furiously........

        151. Wrongful acts in relation to aircraft.
        I'm in Air Defence, which means from time to time I, along with a few others, fire live rounds in the approximate direction of an Air Corp aircraft. Could I be Court Martialled? Bearing in mind I am trying to destroy the yoke its pulling.

          I'm also reminded of the anecdote about an exasperated pilot signalling to an AA battery "I'm pulling the target, not pushing it!"
          'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
          'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
          Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
          He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

              132. Striking or offering violence to a superior officer.
              Pardon me Sir, but would you like a kick in the nuts?

                I thought that if you said "With all due respect sir" at the beginning of the sentence you got away with it
                'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
                'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
                Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;

                  That's threatening violence. Offering violence is where you swing for him but don't connect.

                    The crime of failing to strike an officer?

                      offering violence sounds a bit weird..."ill sell you that schlap there boss...2 euro! €1.50! 5 euro!!!!"
                      I knew a simple soldier boy.....
                      Who grinned at life in empty joy,
                      Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
                      And whistled early with the lark.

                      In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
                      With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
                      He put a bullet through his brain.
                      And no one spoke of him again.

                      You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
                      Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
                      Sneak home and pray you'll never know
                      The hell where youth and laughter go.

                        Did anyone read the indo today.



                        This poor guy looks like he has been punished twice.

                            I know being sent to Clonmel and then to the digger, he caught a raw deal.

                              He got off lightly.

                              I'll treat that comment with the contempt it deserves.

                              Can anyone explain why Limerick bad boys have to be sent to Clonmel? It has happened on at least two occasions but not in reverse.

                                The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.
