“I’m a former (and much to my dear Jewish mother's chagrin at the time!) USMC Infantry/Special Operations Officer. Thirty plus years intervening have me not remembering where in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (which I half joked was based on the highly efficient principle of "guilty until proven innocent"), or perhaps more likely as per the Non-Judicial Punishment alternative, it was allowed (perhaps only when on ship?) to sentence a Marine to bread and water.
