Burden of Proof by Jack Campbell, John G. Hemry

3.0

Very enjoyable account of another case that a legal officer has to deal with. Everybody is being very professional and precise, collars starched and buttons gleaming and seemingly always at attention. Things seem very tidy.
For me, it is often very difficult to tell which customs are space navy and which are already present in the real US armed forces. My basically pacifist family has little to do with the our own armed forces. My elderly relatives were all drafted to serve in the Wehrmacht and later the Volkssturm, my father and childhood sweetheart were drafted for nine month, my brother for one, but the military does not have a strong presence in my life. Especially when it comes to the highly standardised language and sheer amount of flag-saluting.
