It's on page 359 and the language about who can be detained starts out sounding like it is about terrorists planning acts of terror, but gets very broad and does not limit jurisdiction. This is so far beyond constitutional rights of due process that it amounts to a statement that we are in a state of war with an enemy called terror and that members of that enemy can be defined, detained and tried by the US military. Kinda like fascism or the system they have in Egypt, also called a military dictatorship. This is McCain dogshitting on the constitution in case it wasn't eviscerated enough. Even Obama finds it offensive and says he will veto.
There's aso a big rape problem in the military, and if I were a woman soldier i would want those parts of this bill looked at by lawyers watching out for their interests.
