Whatever the situation, whatever the case, I have always asked myself to compare the "treatment" given with the "treatment" received.
Those who take away the "rights" of others, have no claim to "their" rights.
What you have done unto others, is what you require others to do unto you.
I don't see what the problem is, if you phase it correctly.

They should have seen the Camp Fuji brig in the '50s. I'd rather have been treated like an Iraqi POW.
Kent, what would a young straight Marine like yourself know about the brig at Camp Fuji. hehehehe

In 1961, on my way back for a 2nd tour on Okinawa we were off-loaded in Hawaii while the Navy used the ships for a tactical exercise.
I saw working parties from the red-line brig at Camp Smith, dive-bombing in lock-step.
I promised myself; "No Way!" If I screwed up and was sentenced to 30 days at THAT brig, I'd reach over and punch the CO in the mouth. I'd rather do six months or six years at Leavenworth.
