President Joe Biden on Friday ordered a historic change to the Uniform Code of Military Justice by transferring key decision-making authorities outside the military chain of command in cases of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, murder and other serious crimes.

Did I rape my subordinates?
Let me check…
Nope, I found no wrongdoing.
Here that, gang? Now stay in line.
