@cstross@wandering.shop So much worse things happen to superheroes who get married that having a lightning bolt directly to your hand doesn't even register. What's a minor degloving when SATAN HIMSELF undoes your marriage to appease the grognards?

@cstross@wandering.shop Oh, good, I was worried I didn't have enough fears to keep me awake tonight.

@cstross@wandering.shop I am a very different kind of lawyer, so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is the military code permits a retired military member to be recalled to "active" service for the purposes of standing trial in a court-martial for court-martialable offenses--in other words, someone who violates the military code can't escape justice by resigning a commission. This is separate from the provision that lets the head of the DoD recall a former member because there's an emergency and their expertise is needed. I think there's a separate problem for trying to court martial someone for an act performed after they've retired, but his age or status isn't the problem.

@cstross@wandering.shop I believe the "recall for a court-martial" is separate from the general "recall for active duty" provision, and there's no limit on the first one.
