An Air Force major has been recommended for a general court-martial after protesting against President Trump, according to a New York Times report. A general court-martial is the military's most serious level of court-martial, and the case raises questions about service members' rights to free expression and political protest. Observers are debating whether the punishment is proportionate and what it signals for dissent within the armed forces.

Why now: The severe military justice response to political protest against the sitting president is striking and politically charged.
