UCMJ Article 128a: Maiming
It is maiming to put out a person’s eye, to cut off a hand, foot, or finger, or to knock out a tooth, as these injuries destroy or disable those members or organs. It is also maiming to injure an internal organ to diminish the physical vigor of a person seriously. Likewise, it is hindering to cut off an ear or to scar a face with acid, as these injuries seriously disfigure a person.
