Description

Military justice is unique not only for its separate legal code, but also for its impact on licensed professionals in uniform. Physicians and lawyers are ethically bound by their licensing requirements. But put a military uniform on these professionals, and they are subject to punitive action under the respective codes of their nation's armed forces. For a uniformed professional facing a desire to speak out against war or military policy, regulations governing "military expression" can be a "career killer." This article examines the unique dilemma facing licensed professionals who are caught up in a trifecta of free-speech restrictions, personal beliefs and ethical licensing requirements. Cases originating in the United States, United Kingdom, and Guantanamo Bay highlight the legal and career ramifications affecting those who could not legally balance the military expression trifecta. This article further considers potential remedies to assist uniformed licensed professionals who experience this "crisis of conscience." I. INTRODUCTION
