“[J]udges are not given the task of running the Army, The responsibility for setting up channels through which such grievances can be considered and fairly settled rests upon the Congress and upon the President of the United States and his subordinates. The military constitutes a specialized community governed by a separate discipline from that of the civilian. Orderly government requires that the judiciary be as scrupulous not to interfere with legitimate Army matters as the Army must be scrupulous not to intervene in judicial matters. [Orloff v. Willoughby, 345 U.S. 83 , 93, 73 S.Ct. 534 , 539, 97 L.Ed. 842 (1953).]”
