Respectfully, my view is that as long as they're wearing a uniform, they should be subject to the code of service discipline. Infractions I can see as a no, but service offences, yes. If you're going to wear the uniform, then you should be subject to the code of service discipline, period. We'll deal with the cases in court martial or, if it goes to a civilian system, then we can deal with it that way.
I don't agree with the perfunctory nature of the uniform. When you wear that uniform and you have that rank, that means something.
