article.  The  offense  of  wrongfully  and  dishonorably failing  to  maintain  sufficient  funds  for  payment  of checks upon presentment is a violation. Art. 124. Maiming Any  person  subject  to  this  chapter  who, with intent to injure, disfigure, or disable, inflicts upon the person of another an injury which (1)   seriously  disfigures  his  person  by  a mutilation thereof; (2)   destroys  or  disables  any  member  or organ of his body; or (3)   seriously  diminishes  his  physical vigor by the injury of any member or organ; is guilty of maiming and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. Maiming  includes  putting  out  a  person’s  eye; cutting off a person’s hand, foot, or finger; or knocking out a person’s front teeth, as these injuries destroy or disable  those  members  or  organs.  Maiming  also includes cutting off a person’s ear or scaring a person’s face,  as  these  injuries  seriously  disfigure  the  person. Injuring an internal organ so as to seriously diminish the physical vigor of a person is also considered maiming. Art. 125. Sodomy (a)   Any person subject to this chapter who engages  in  unnatural  carnal  copulation  with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however  slight,  is  sufficient  to  complete  the offense. (b)   Any  person  found  guilty  of  sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. Art. 126. Arson (a)   Any person subject to this chapter who willfully and maliciously burns or sets on fire an  inhabited  dwelling,  or  any  other  structure, movable  or  immovable,  wherein  to  the knowledge of the offender there is at the time a human being, is guilty of aggravated arson and shall be punished as court-martial may direct. (b)   Any person subject to this chapter who willfully and maliciously burns or sets fire to the property of another, except as provided in subsection  (a),  is  guilty  of  simple  arson  and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. In  aggravated  arson,  danger  to  human  life  is  the essential  element;  in  simple  arson,  it  is  injury  to  the property of another. In either case, the fact that no one is injured is immaterial. Art. 127. Extortion Any  person  subject  to  this  chapter  who communicates  threats  to  another  person  with the  intention  thereby  to  obtain  anything  of value  or  any  acquaintance,  advantage,  or immunity  is  guilty  of  extortion  and  shall  be punished as a court-martial may direct. A threat may be communicated by word of mouth or in writing, the essential element of the offense being the  knowledge  of  the  threat  to  the  victim.  An acquittance is, in general terms, a release or discharge from an obligation. Art. 128. Assault (a)   Any person subject to this chapter who attempts  or  offers  with  unlawful  force  or violence to do bodily harm to another person, whether   or   not   the   attempt   or   offer   is consummated, is guilty of assault and shall be punished as a court-martial may direct. (b)   Any  person  subject  to  this  chapter who— (1)  commits   an   assault   with   a dangerous  weapon  or  other  means  of  force likely  to  produce  death  or  grievous  bodily harm; or (2)  commits an assault and intentionally  inflicts  grievous  bodily  harm with or without a weapon; is  guilty  of  aggravated  assault  and  shall  be punished as a court-martial may direct. Section (a) describes the offense of simple assault. Swinging your fist, pointing a gun at a person, or raising 2-32 Student Notes:
