In reply to the discussion: Levin dropping key provision from military rape bill [View all]James48
(4,435 posts)18. It is a good compromise
It is important for the intergrity of the Military Chain of Command to have the Commander retain jurisdiction. The Levin proposal to have senior commanders review any decision NOT to prosecute is a good outcome.
As a retired Military commander, and the husband of a retired Miltiary commander, I beleive this is the best path for those who serve in uniform.

Outrageous. It seems Levin wants to gut the bill, because without the provision, there is no bill.
