 I was threatened with a court martial . Two authorities wanted to court martial me : Eastern Area in which the crime was committed and Southern Command to which I was attached at the time . I was told later there was a great fight among the bureaucrats of each of these commands as to which would court martial me . Apparently they could not agree on which should be the prosecutor and the idea either lapsed – or maybe is still being pursued by the successors to each of these commands !
