Top Defense officials propose keeping adultery as a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice but not prosecuting in every case. The plan aims to align military rules with modern attitudes, urging commanders to file charges only if morale or unit functioning is affected. Critics warn against softening the armed forces stance.
