Adulty In The Military Adultery In the Military By: Abisnail Adultery In The Military As citizens of the United States of America we are all governed by a certain set of rules. These laws are set forth by our elected officials. These laws deal with almost all aspects of life including morally wrong actions such as murder and theft. However, these laws do not govern many other moral choices such as adultery. As members of the United States Armed Forces, we are also regulated by an additional set of rules. We must abide by the sanctions of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). Unlike our state laws, the UCMJ does have articles that address the subject of adultery. The UCMJ articles that now pertain to adulterous actions are very strict and limit personal choice. These articles should be reviewed and changed so that the law is clearer and so that there is one standard, which has fewer repercussions. On the other hand, some people believe that military personnel should be held to a higher standard. These people believe that adulterous relationships disrupt the “good order and discipline in the armed forces” (UCMJ 1).
