Gimme That Star Trek Ep.15: Is Starfleet Military?

Siskoid sits down with Mike Lacroix of the Canadian Military History Podcast to ask the big question: Is Starfleet a military organization? And if so, how do its practices compare to those of the military in our own world? What's wrong with Michael Burnham's court martial? Could Dr. McCoy really be recalled into active service in The Motion Picture? And where are all the non-coms? All that and more, plus Star Trek news and your feedback.
