Abstract
A recent spate of widely publicized trials by court-martial has focused national attention on military justice. Some observers have concluded that it is still no more than "drumhead justice"'and that "military justice is to justice as military music is to music."2 A similar appraisal underlies the Supreme Court's majority opinion in the landmark case of O'Callahan v.
