Thank goodness the average soldier isn't some testosterone laden adolescent, hell bent on a good night out with the assistance of many pints of beer, otherwise you might need a more robust system of discipline to keep them in check. Luckily the lads today finish needlework classes early to go and help old people cross the road (before getting an early night), they are the ones who need protecting from the injustices of brutish Army discipline. Thank God for the ECHR, hopefully they will also demand a complete ban on those nasty, shouty Sergeant-Major types as well.
In what ways is the service justice system less robust since AFA 2006 than it was before?

Have some sentencing powers (and I don't mean fines) not been increased under AFA 2006/2011?

Are today's soldiers really more "hell bent on a good night with the assistance of many pints of beer" than their Cold War predecessors?

Which particular Article of the ECHR is against "nasty, shouty Sergeant-major types" or military discipline in general?
