ARTICLE 63.

DISRESPECT TOWARD A SUPERIOR OFFICER:

Punishment: Court-martial.

"Any person subject to military law who behaves himself with
disrespect toward his superior officer...."
Unlike Article 62, disrespect toward a superior officer requires
no words--acting or neglecting to act (such as rudeness or failure
to salute) are enough.


ARTICLE 64.

ASSAULTING OR WILLFULLY DISOBEYING SUPERIOR OFFICER:

Punishment: Death or court-martial.

(1) "Any person subject to military law who on any pretense
whatsoever, strikes his superior officer--lifts a weapon, or
offers violence against him, being in the execution of his
office."
(2) "Or willfully disobeys any lawful command of his superior
officer."
