Abstract
The discipline of soldiers is ultimately enforced through the military justice system, and the most serious infractions of military law are tried by court martial. The rationale for such courts and the problems associated with them are discussed. The court martial is the centrepiece of the military justice system and occasionally, given the gravity of a particular case in front of it, it becomes a showpiece for wider political, public, and media debate, and the court martial and appeals of Sergeant Blackman demonstrate. It should not come as a surprise that courts martial not only reflect wider pressures and issues of justice, but also both negative and positive aspects of the unique nature of military service: (misplaced) loyalty, (in)discipline, and (un)lawful violence.
