They're charging him

when an investigation was already performed, and determined no chargeable actions committed.

Isn't that basically double jeopardy?


Except this is military court where the constitution does not apply.

Always found that sort of ironic you take an oath to protect the constitution and yet a lot of it does not protect you while you serve the armed forces.

so there's no sort of check / balance in place to prevent an individual for being tried / investigated for the same situation multiple times?

Don't mean to sound ignorant, I've never been in the military.

Thank you for your insight, sir!
