	Well, civilians can be tried twice for the same crime - as long
as it's under state jurisdiction one time, and federal the other: just
ask the LA cops who were tried for beating Rodney King.  The military
tries people a second time under the same rationale.  Also, can't the
military tack on an AWOL charge for the civilian time served if they're
really out to get someone?
