These chargea don't get levied by NCIS without having most of the evidence first.

UCMJ court martial os actually an expensive process and billed against the budget of the offending command.

Down vote as for explaining the Navy's judicial processes?

    The U.S. justice system is a lot like its foreign policy:

    Literally doesn't apply in this situation. NCIS are not street cops and they have no interest in foreign policy.

    Their sole duty is to investigate crimes under the UCMJ. This is necessary as the Navy operates outside federal jurisdiction due to the nature of their work, and must be able to prosecute criminals at sea.

    its broad mandate includes national security, counterintelligence, counterterrorism, cyberwarfare, and the protection of U.S. naval assets worldwide.

    Sure, no interest in foreign policy

    Breaches of it of course. The very textbook example is sending classified documents to an unsecured recipient.

    Setting foreign policy? Making mandates? Villainizing countries?

    Dude get your head adjusted.

    Hot damn you must be an engineer or something, building those rocket-propelled goalposts like that

    Imagine willfully misunderstanding jurisdiction

    Imagine thinking military law enforcement can ever be apolitical. I bet you think ICE isn't a tool for controlling labor because it doesn't outright say that on their site

    I'm speaking from technical expertise while you continue to throw emotional, specious false equivalence.

    Have a nice day knowing the NCIS doesn't give a fuck about China, they only care about the crime which was committed.
