	The Avalon Project : General Orders No. 100
		Military jurisdiction is of two kinds: First, that which is conferred and defined by statute; second, that which is derived from the common law of war.
		Military necessity, as understood by modern civilized nations, consists in the necessity of those measures which are indispensable for securing the ends of the war, and which are lawful according to the modern law and usages of war.
		Military necessity does not admit of cruelty - that is, the infliction of suffering for the sake of suffering or for revenge, nor of maiming or wounding except in fight, nor of torture to extort confessions.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The United States of America
		That river separates the United States from the Republic of Mexico until at the city of El Paso it turns northward; from that point to the Colorado River an arbitrary line marks the boundary of the two republics.
		In examining the constitutionality of a state law one is to assume that the state legislature has power to pass all acts whatever, unless they are prohibited by the Constitution of the United States or by the constitution of the state.
		It also provides that the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states; for the return of fugitives from justice and for the admission of new states.

	United States of America vs. Kazys Ciurinskas
		United States filed complaint, seeking to revoke citizenship of defendant because of his service during World War II in Lithuanian army unit which aided German Military in execution of suspected Jews and Communists, and defendant's subsequent concealment of that service when he applied to immigrate to and become United States citizen.

	Ancient Roman Military - Crystalinks
		The core of the military history of the Roman Empire is the account of its great land battles, from the conquest of Italy to its final battles against the Huns.
		In the war-like state Rome was, the highest civilian officers were also the military chiefs of staff and the commanding generals in battle.
		As enduring units, they were able to become more effective fighting forces; more importantly, they could now form lasting loyalties to their commanders, as the typical 1-year consul system began to break down and generals served for greater durations.

	The Provost-Marshal And The Citizen
		Richard B. Carmichael, a judge of the State court, was a man of courage, devoted to his profession, and almost fanatical in his belief in the supremacy of the law and the strict construction of the Constitution.
		A military commission composed of army officers was appointed by General Hovey for trial of Milligan and several associates, under the charges of conspiring against the Government of the United States, inciting insurrection, and otherwise violating the law, but the chief specification in all the charges was their membership in the Sons of Liberty.
		Military officers were also instructed to obey the writs of habeas corpus, and if the judge ordered the discharge of the prisoner, to obey, though they might then appeal to the Confederate district judge.

		For nearly three-quarters of a century, that oath served nicely, although to the modern ear it sounds woefully incomplete.
		Missing are the soaring references to bearing "true faith and allegiance;" to taking "this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;" and to "well and faithfully" discharging the duties of the office.
		This oath is the earliest direct predecessor of the modern oath.
