摘要：Clemenceau is supposed to have remarked once that "military justice is to justice as military music is to music."

In the public mind the courts were presumed to be arbitrary tribunals in which due process was not respected, the accused had few opportunities to clear himself, and punishments were severe. For many civilians in Europe before 1914 and many civilians today, military trials could be described in Hobbesian adjectives-nasty, brutish and short.
