A court shall not, by a single sentence which does not include dishonorable discharge, adjudge against a soldier:
No provision is made in the resolution for the preservation of any proportionate strength in the combatant corps of the Army.
Such a policy is antagonistic to the fundamental principle of equal and exact justice to all.
In my opinion the legislation proposed is not in the public interest and is objectionable.
