The way all prosecutions are formulated under military law is simply that it is the prosecutor versus the accused. The only reason we do it in the rather unwieldy way for ordinary criminal charges on indictment is the Constitution states we are to do it that way, for whatever reason. There is no legal reason it should be done that way.
