Quote:
Defendants in military courts have the same rights to lawyers that criminal defendants have in civilian courts.

NO, they have MORE rights than a civilian.
1 - Military: "No person subject to the Code (UCMJ) shall question any other person subject to the Code... (without a rights advisement).
Civilian: Custodial interrogation by law enforcement only.
2 - Military: Military attorney at no expense to the soldier, civilian attorney at no expense to the government, or both.
Civilian: Public Defender, or hired attorney, not both.
and so on ...
