Heck, no. Heck, no. Heck, no. The chain of command that is wearing a rank and controlling their future—their promotion, their posting, their whatever it is—suggests to them, without counsel, that it would be best to go into a summary trial, nod, nudge, and you want me to sign up to this? No way.
The fact that many of them have elected to have a summary trial as opposed to a court martial is perhaps indicative of the fact they've done so not with the presence of independent legal advice or the right to counsel, but in isolation from it. As a result—not always, but potentially—the perception is that it is as a result of pressure from the chain of command, so I don't agree that this is indicative of their choice or of respect for the process.
