Haven't seen this mentioned before (apologies if it was)

 

Supreme Court: Retirees Can Be Court-Martialed for Crimes Committed After Service

 

>Attorneys for both Marines argued that the cases should have been considered by the U.S. Supreme Court because they have far-reaching consequences for military retirees. The law stipulates that "retired members of a regular component of the armed forces who are entitled to pay" and "members of the Fleet Marine Corps Reserve" are subject to court-martial jurisdiction.

 

>The reasoning, the government argues, is that retirement is simply a change of military status and retired personnel are subject to recall should the need arise

 

>He added that the very act of receiving retired pay means that retired personnel are choosing to keep a relationship with the military and accept all that goes with the choice not to terminate their commission or request a discharge.

 

I suspect this would also hold true with anyone collecting disability from the military.

 

And I do recall talk of Officers subject to recall for life, regardless of retirement (when people were talking about Sessions after he left AG). That might make them subject to this as well. How many members of Congress were Officers?
