SULLIVAN, Judge
(concurring):
With regard to Issue III, I agree with the majority but wish to note that I remain convinced that a new option should be added to the list of possible punishments that a court-martial may consider — a discharge with no or partial loss of retirement benefits. This new punishment option would allow better and more flexible justice in our military justice system. See, e.g., United States v. Sumrall, 45 MJ 207, 211 n. 3 (1996); see 45 *46MJ 211A and 211B (appendix to Sullivan, J., dissenting).
