There was a case like this in the LNR back in 2014 or 2015. A soldier was convicted, by a people’s court, of raping a 12 year old girl. Since the LNR didn’t at the time have a truly functioning legal system, and couldn’t legitimately put anyone to death, the soldier was given a choice: either rot in prison for the duration of the conflict, to face sentencing during peacetime, or be sent under guard to the heaviest part of the front. He chose the latter, and I believe died in combat a couple weeks later.
Interesting. A solution like that makes sense in the midst of fighting a war against imperial aggressors. I’m not sure how it’d look during peacetime. I’d personally say that being in the socialist military, during peacetime, should be viewed as an honor rather than a punishment. I also understand that said socialist military can only exist through enduring a period of conflict. Sometimes more pragmatic approaches are needed, and it seems to me like they made the right call.
