Does this apply to human as well. being that soldiers are the property of the government. What if while they were in pre trial confinement and was attacked and harmed and damaged while confined in a county jail.

No, humans are NOT property of the government. That is a running joke in the military, but that’s all it is, a joke.

Actually humans do count. I have used this article many times when my troops do something stupid like getting too sunburned to work or they do something that causes an injury where they are unable to work. Technically humans are property of the military.

If charged with Art. 108 is not there a need to show “willful” neglect? Can this be called, “intent,” or is that an incorrect interpretation of the words, ‘willful neglect?’ Please personal reply to email provided.
Thank you.

Disclaimer: The views and opinions below are my own free speech, and do not necessarily reflect or represent those of the US Military.
Technically, humans are not property,that would be considered inhumane; thanks to the 13th Amendment. Hypothetically, soldiers are government property. We signed a contract to abide by rules and regulation of our military service and the UCMJ. If you do not think that You are the property of the US Military you are mistaken. A soldier cannot do what they want, when they want, with their person; therefore your freedom becomes limited (i.e. tattoos, alcohol & rugs, not snitching, cheating, keeping bad company).
