Tom Cruise is certainly a goofy individual, on the personal level. But, there is no denying that he is a dynamic, scene-making actor. I'm not really sure there has ever been another actor quite like him. He has the ability to turn "vulnerable" into "strength" almost without dialogue. He has the ability to change the tone of a scene with just his facial expressions. Pretty impressive.
Show off or Hot Dog!!! No matter how you say it, Tom Cruise is GREAT at it!! No disrespect meant. He's a FANTASTIC actor!!! That's why he makes the money he makes..He's so dam good at being show off!! He makes great movies!!

@MrCorpserot YOU ARE SORELY MISINFORMED! My dad is a retired Master Gunnery Sgt in the Marines. In his time, there were CODE REDs & they were performed by the members of the platoon to get one screw-up in line. So yes, a Code Red does exist & it has existed for decades in the Marines; hwr, it doesn't surprise me that the Navy has no such disciplinary action codes for their troops. Marines vs Navy is like comparing hand-grenades to apples.
@PaisleyPlace Agreed but they were not called code reds I didn't think. My brother was and is a staff seargent in the corp now he is nat'l guard after ten years but I didn't think they called them that.
@MrCorpserot This was a term as well as a practice that was primarily used during boot camp. It was implemented elsewhere at times but by the time a Marine comes out of boot camp, they've been torn down & built back up, so to speak. The actions that bring about code reds is a way of the platoon itself taking on the duty & responsibility for their platoon-mate's actions or lack thereof. Marines are big on handling from within & chain of command & u didn't skip-jump COC.
@energeez That's ok. I just wanted to point in out in case you seen it again. It's almost 2nd nature, esp living near or in base towns. I had trouble w/a ROTC cadet once at a school function & I got his name/rank then called his superior the following Mon b/c it was over a weekend. It caught him by surprise at first then he laughed & said, "Military Brat?" I replied, "Marine Military Brat..." We don't have ROTC in the school district we live tho the nearby 1 did & the cadet was from it
@energeez I actually didn't want the cadet disciplined for his actions - merely educated regarding them & I was firm on the matter. It was when I 1st lost so much peripheral vision I went n2 training at a guide dog school for my 1st guide dog. The cadet attempted to prevent my entering the auditorium at the college w/my guide.He got cocky & I got in his face & laid into him re ADA title III svc dog access laws. Still cocky, he let us pass. I wanted to ensure it didn't occur again.
@energeez At that time, I was the only guide dog handler who lived & traveled within our county; hwr, a few years later, there were several other blind people w/varying degrees of loss of sight who heard about me, met me, or was at lectures I gave, who gained the courage to give up the cane for a guide dog. You could say I paved a new path in our formerly backwards county w/regards to svc dogs. I even had article published in local newspaper & ppl still stop me to ask about it yrs l8r.
@TheAlmightyAss there are no such things as good guys in court, just people getting the ugly truth out. This is why people despise lawyers so: because their jobs undermine every social norm, eliminates every status, openly speak about things people don't talk about at parties, and get people very uncomfortable with reality. Same reason why people hate cops.
@HaoWenXiang lawyers send innocent men to prison and keep murderers and rapists on the street just to get their money. can't really blame them for that though tbh
@TheAlmightyAss The problem with our legal system is the fact that we will never have a equal system b/c there's inequality in attorneys. Crooks & politicians can hire the best of the best while innocent ppl can only afford public defenders, most of the time & few can afford a decent atty so the innocent person usually loses out. Rich people buy attys, own judges, & most in the legal profession owe them favors so it's never fair from jump. Its why I'm on fence re: death penalty.
@TheAlmightyAss I do sympathise with the good guys in this film. You can take it anyway you want to take it. But one fact is crystal clear.
Jack's character, and everyone between Jack, and the chain of the accused is letting two of their own soldiers suffer the full weight of the crime, by themselves, while they, who gave the orders, try to cover their own asses.
I was in the military, and in many ways, this movie summed up officers, like Jessup, perfectly.
@TheAlmightyAss Nothing is more important to anyone than their own life. If someone prioritizing some ephemeral "duty" over it even in PEACE TIME there's nothing honourable in it.
You put your life over someone's you get punished by those who witness injustice as simple as that.
@Trenaur, please see plt10301's comment - Jessup is responsible for Santiago's death because he disobeyed a direct order. His order (which contravened the Admiral's orders) was ultimately the cause of death. The defendants did not know hazing Santiago would kill him, nor did they know about the Admiral's memo, as they would then have had grounds to disobey Jessup. This is the version that would hold up in Court :)
In case people did not catch this earlier in the movie, Colonel Jessup received a memo from his Superior who is an Admiral in the Navy. The Admiral is the Commander of the Atlantic Fleet, the memo stated that code red disciplinary engagements are not to be condoned by any marine officer for any reason. Colonel Jessup did not follow the order set by the Admiral and therefore is responsible for the death of Santiago.
Even though I thought it was wrong to end a innocent life he made a point. People put those in the military down but guess what if wasn't for the people on those walls putting their live on the line you wouldn't have that ungrateful voice to use you would be stuck in the same condition that those in Iraq have. I say shut up or put up, if you can't see yourself doing then shut up. They die and fight for us everyday. They get and wake up to fight for your ungrateful tail. GOD BLESS DH RA CB - INT
@azrock4ever Mister I have best friends who are serving. And for you to tell me that was quite dumb. I know that I could never do what they do which is why i don't do it. But I know that the only reason that I am able to put my head down at night is because my best friends : Douglas Singer, Chiquita Taylor, and Raven Allen have sworn to protect me and people like you. Freedom in todays world is not given its taken so remember that when you try to come for me.
@shanlle101 "Mister" lol Did you just use the word Mister? Also, it's really ironic that you use the word dumb to describe someone else!
In regards to your overly dramatic post; I know only too well what the oath requires and I don't need some drama queen to bark at me on YouTube about duty and service to my country. Is this clear? Save your morality speech for someone else and stop being such a flag waving retard. While I appreciate your support you're going about it the wrong way
If this happened in real life, when the judge puts a lawyer in contempt, wouldn't that cut the lawyer's examination right then and there, meaning the admission of ordering the code red would be stricken from the record, wouldn't it?
This might be an odd question, but why does the military have its own court? Is it because certain cases have to be kept under wraps for national security or something? Why not hold trials in regular court?
Just an odd thought that popped into my head while watching this :)
@EnigmaDrath The military has rules that all service members must follow. An obvious example is discipline but others include stuff like proper conduct of service members and whether orders are legal or not. If a member of the forces breaks military rules, they are subject to discipline. That discipline is imposed in military court.
@EnigmaDrath A quick wikipedia search tells me that some countries do use the regular court system. The article on military justice gives the example of Germany.
As for why some countries do have a special system, I suspect it's just convenience, allowing judges to specialize. There are courts that deal specifically with criminal law, civil law (tort), family law, tax law and others. So why not a special division for military law?
@EnigmaDrath Members of the US military fall under the UCMJ. uniform code of military justice. Crimes committed by military members are tried in a military court martial. Our laws are more stringent. As a Marine I love this movie. But I agree w/ the Colonel. Tragic he died . But the Marine Corps is built on strong men who will kill when ordered. There is no room for weak cry babies. Hazing a Marine to perform better is common place in our world. First in defense of a nation falls on rough men.
Or "Rough men" who know how to use their heads and not just their rifles or whatever. Real strength would have come from not following the order. The easy thing to do is just what they did, follow the order. Which is the point of the movie. It did not take a whole lot of strength to follow that order. It would have taken strength NOT to. Whether it was Tom Cruise or the 2 Marines. The point of the movie (i thought) was to stand up for what is right. Not for what is popular or easy.
To not follow the order would be a blatant display of a lack of discipline, something the Marines pride themselves on. Now don't get me wrong: I do not support people refusing to question what they are told, as I find that doing so prevents preferable alternatives from being considered. However, I recognize that the kind of attitude I have in regards to following orders is simply incompatible with being a Marine. I may disagree with their attitude, but I can't argue with the results.
Of course, that isn't to say that I condone behavior such as hazing, particularly the hazing that ultimately led to the death of Santiago in the movie. I think it was correct for Jessup to be caught and punished, as he committed both a serious crime and something I personally find reprehensible. All I am saying is that I understand why he did what he did, and in a way I can almost respect him for it. I may take a different side, but I can still admire his dedication to his duty.
But you are condoning hazing. By virtue of following the order....you are condoning it. Opposition to something that is wrong.....in your head, means nothing. Jessup gave that order because he was a weak and ineffective leader. It was a cop out. Whether it was Jessup, Downey, Dawson, Kendrick & even Kaffee. The point of the movie (to me) was how fear of doing the TRULY tough & TRULY courageous, can affect others. Jessup was not an admirable figure. He was a bully, a coward.
I disagree; he may have been a fool and a bully, but certainly not a coward. He did what he felt was necessary; as I said, I find that dedication to his duty impressive and somewhat admirable. Although upon reflection, I suppose I should have said "his perception of his duty". Additionally, I stated quite clearly that I do not support people in the Armed Forces hazing one another, but that I also recognize the results, including the positive ones.
Furthermore, I also stated that I thought it was correct for Jessup to be punished; I would think that statement would make it evident that opposition to something I find wrong does, in fact, mean something. As I said, I considered his actions reprehensible, and thus I supported his punishment for those actions. And while I would agree that these actions ultimately make Jessup a less than admirable figure overall, I can still admit that his dedication is something impressive.
I was just speaking in terms of those who follow an order that is wrong. I read your initial comments so I know that you do not personally condone hazing. The dedication of our women and men in uniform is impressive. Their discipline seems to be 2nd to none.
But I want everyone (Military personnel included) to put 'honor' in doing the right thing. Not in following unlawful or immoral orders because they are tied to powerful traditions. I understand your point.
While I am glad that we have reached an agreement of sorts, we seem to have ignored the original reason for our disagreement: I found that Jessup's dedication to his perception of his duty was admirable, and the willingness of his men to follow his orders without question is understandable. While the way in which his dedication was directed may have been unlawful, the dedication itself is still admirable, as it shows a high level of personal strength when it comes to his morals.
My only opposition to these things is from a personal level; I personally disagree with this sort of unquestioning loyalty, but I would never want to inflict my opinion on others as law. Similarly, the reason his men followed those orders is because of the ways in which they are taught in the Marines. And frankly, their methods do have some positive results: the existence of strong men and women capable of doing what they feel is necessary to defend their nation.
Now again; I have my own reasons for finding this type of behavior and thinking counter-productive, but I refuse to elevate my own morals upon those of others. Though I may not like to admit it, there is nothing objective that makes Jessup's morals better than my own. This being the case, my major reason for supporting his punishment is that his actions were illegal. In other words, my personal reasons are why I condemn him, but the law is why I support punishing him.
@coinchan As I understand it: He ordered a Code Red, which was the punishment the defendants had to administer on his orders. His direct order therefore was the direct cause of Santiago's death. Therefore, Col. Nathan Jessup committed Murder by Proxy. The defendants were Not Guilty of Murder because they had no way of knowing, at the time of following the order, that their actions would cause any lasting damage, let alone fatal damage, to Santiago. Hope that answers your question :)
@ArcticonTiger Military members fall under the UCMJ. WE Marines are to protect and fight for those who don't have the ability to. Just like he said in the final moments. Hazing a Marine who is incompetent is common place in our world. But to go about it in which to cause death is a crime. In Afghanistan we were ordered to engage the enemy if attacked. Now going in a village and blatently shooting unarmed farmers and claiming they "tried to attack" would be a crime. Liability lies w/ our superior
@ArcticonTiger There is no such thing as murder by proxy. The causation you refer to is not direct, because he ordered them to administer a Code Red, not to murder Santiago (this was not a "hit"). The murder was accidental, and therefore, the only liability Jessup might have would be civil for a wrongful death suit.
He is going to jail because he committed perjury only seconds earlier and also violated the Marine Core Code of Conduct which prohibited "Code Red" orders of this kind.
@twilightzoneseinfeld Why indeed? ;-) Jessup is clearly a self-important man who believes that his rank somehow signifies that he pretty much IS the USA's defence - as if the military isn't made up of hundreds of thousands of competent soldiers who could stand in his place and defend the USA from - ahem - CUBA. Although he did touch on some valid points in his "lecture", this deluded him into thinking it was OK to disobey a direct order from the Admiral & order a Code Red.
7:21 - "You are nothing but a son-of-a-bitch". A perfect final retaliation for that "ask me nicely" at the end of the lunch on that terrace in Guantanamo USMC base. Kaffee had kept it in store since then, and now the moment to use it has come. Good man, Lieutenant.
6:26 - "You know damn right I did". Well, self-important jerk, you just exposed yourself. That young lawyer got under your skin good and proper, and blew your cover, you s.o.b. Well done, Lieutenant Kaffee.
4:31: this self-solemn, self-righteous murderous jerk has a fixation with "saving lives". His own way of doing it is to put a stop to TWO of them (Santiago's first, by direct order ; then - indirectly, by suicide - Markinson's, formerly an Annapolis academy co-graduate of his) and to unload the responsibility for it on the shoulders of an NCO and of a PFC. This is to be called "coward bullying boss".
I'll bet whenever Jack Nicholson orders Mountain Dew Code Red at a restaurant, the waiter brings him his drink and asks "DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?" and then Nicholson says "YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I DID!"
I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.
You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it.
Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives.
" This is funny this is .... i'm gonna rip the eyes off your head, and piss at your dead skull you fuck with the wrong marine" lol that scene is hilarious but a bit unnecessary you make Col.Jessup look like a clown, and lower Jack Nicholson's acting ability.
he punked out Jessup...he made Jessup think he had proof that the flight DID take place and that the log books were doctored...made Jessup afraid but also pissed him off..then Kaffee rattled him "if your orders are always followed then why would Santiago be in any danger"?...damn this scene is intense...that liberal freak Meathead made a great movie...he made a great American like Jessup into the bad guy but it's still a good movie...Kaffee coulda got court martialed for what he called Jessup..
everyone says what great acting and what great actors but its the WRITERS who make this up for the actors to repeat. I just think the writers don't get enough credit. its the same thing with a really sucessful company and everyone slaps praise on a CEO...its the worker bees who make something special, remember this.
The look on Captain Ross's face when Jessup confessed? PRICELESS! That look pretty much says it all! Even his assistant looked at him like he was trying to say "SAY SOMETHING, DAMN IT!"
@man500100 navy is one of the most bad ass branches of the military, marines are just a branch off of them, without the navy, the marines would be screwed, so dont say that
@kenzy6666 Not according to Jack Nicholson. Like he said in the movie, "son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. who's gonna do it, you? you?
I HAVE A GREATER RESPONSIBILITY THAN YOU CAN POSSIBLY FATHOM. you WANT me on that wall, you NEED me on that wall." Then later he makes Tom Cruise shit his pants by yelling in his face. "I'M GONNA RIP THE EYES OUT OF YOUR HEAD AND PISS IN YOUR DEAD SKULL, YOU FUCKED WITH WRONG MARINE!!!!
@man500100 really? then why werent the marines sent in to kill osama bin laden? its because there not qualified for stuff like that, navy seals are one of the most highly trained operatives in the us, idk wtf ur talkin about
@kenzy6666 wow your only the 100'th person to say the navy is better because they got osama. Ya, they got him alright, but now guess what happened. a chopper with some of the seals from that killing has been shot down. navy seals should stay in the water. plus, my sister-in-laws dad was a navy seal and he got his ass kicked in a bar......BY A GAY GUY, and he had 3 other seal friends with him. he said he woke up on a plane and his friends looked like someone had beat the shit out of them.
@man500100 and let me guess, those men are 60 years old, they lost their touch, just cuz there gay doesnt mean that they cant beat the shit out of someone, marines are good yes, but the seal team 6 is one of the most highly trained ops in the entire world, what good have the marines achieved, what kinda training do they go through? its not even a dent compared to the seals training, they dont suck the seals, and any day they could kick the shit out of a marine so you can go fuck urself
@kenzy6666 no, they were not 60. this happened right after they graduated boot camp or whatever the fuck you call it, how to be a pussy 101. why would the marines say that there training course is the hardest that the world could offer, if the navy's was the hardest. if the navy course was the hardest i'm sure that the marines would train on it. i looked up navy boot camp, it was swimming and jogging. wow that's some hard training. i could do that, and i'm in a wheelchair.
@man500100 the marines are a branch off of the navy, so they have some of the same things, the navy is more than just swimming and jogging, the seals are the hardest trained operatives, and not every soldier in the navy is a seal, i see how much you know about the military, you would know that the seals are a high trained spec ops group, and a SAILOR or SEAMEN is in the navy, the marines have achieved nothing, the navy has, wherever the marines are ordered to go, the navy gives them a ride
@kenzy6666 i don't know a lot about the navy but i'm better informed with the marines. i wanted to see how the navy is the hardest trained operatives, so i looked it up, and all i saw them do is swimming and jogging and obviously push-ups and sit-ups. look, i know were on the same side here but nobody can change my mind until i see a marine and a navy seal fight. when i say fight i don't mean wrestle, i mean either pugil sticks or if it is a wrestling type it should be ufc style.
@man500100 Well I can tell you first hand that most Military combat techniques focus on "wrestling" or grappling maneuvers. This is because 99% of hand to hand fights will at some point end up on the ground. This is where the better trained fighter will gain the victory as ground fighting is harder and takes more skill than standing toe to toe pummeling . pugil sticks on the other hand.. take significantly less technical ability and more strength/speed/endurance.
@kenzy6666 I am forced to point out that your Military knowledge seems lacking as well as his.. as there are No soldiers in the Navy. Only the Army has Soldiers.
@jjspain5 You didn't catch the part at 2:19, when Kaffe had one more question before he would call up the two Airmen. It was right at that moment when Col. Jessup crumbled, like when a child gets told to straighten up before his daddy comes with the BELT! :D
@Splube Internet tough guy... I'm incredibly impressed. So is everyone else. Hell I am certain a girl reading your reply is so impressed with your internet bravery you might finally lose your virginity. Go get 'em tiger!
@MrMitchDressing I don't like the Seals, doesn't mean I'm anti-American. In fact I'm a Marine who has served over 4 years. So do you understand now? The Marine Corps and the Navy don't like each other. Don't go assuming shit when you don't know all the facts.

@man500100 Cruise isnt a navy seal. He is a JAG officer in the navy so just like he says "a lawyer and an officer in the navy". Navy seals are never jag officers/lawyers.
the ultimate paradox about dealing with an unfit member of any military unit. In my opinion, Nicholson should haVE LOcKED sAntiago in jail to protect him. However, with Markinson killing himself -- Nicholson wanted everything else to appear normal. nicholson thinking he could doctor the flight logs proves his almost dictatorial powers in an isolated island. Botton line a substandard military person should be transferred to a large facility first -- then if they cannot adapt discharge them.
Maybe I'm not the first to catch this blooper but the colonel did a sleight of hand on his tie after exiting the witness stand because it disappeared.
@chamwrld1 A hot air balloon of a pompous field officer, full of himself and of his role and of a misguided set of rules that only idiotic, moronic, automated, brainless apes can follow so obsequiously, The defense stuck a pin into that balloon, and it went ppPPfffFFF-TTtt - "you know damn f*****g well I did".

Jack's character, and everyone between Jack, and the chain of the accused is letting two of their own soldiers suffer the full weight of the crime, by themselves, while they, who gave the orders, try to cover their own asses.
I was in the military, and in many ways, this movie summed up officers, like Jessup, perfectly.

@TheAlmightyAss Nothing is more important to anyone than their own life. If someone prioritizing some ephemeral "duty" over it even in PEACE TIME there's nothing honourable in it.
You put your life over someone's you get punished by those who witness injustice as simple as that.

@Trenaur, please see plt10301's comment - Jessup is responsible for Santiago's death because he disobeyed a direct order. His order (which contravened the Admiral's orders) was ultimately the cause of death. The defendants did not know hazing Santiago would kill him, nor did they know about the Admiral's memo, as they would then have had grounds to disobey Jessup. This is the version that would hold up in Court :)

In case people did not catch this earlier in the movie, Colonel Jessup received a memo from his Superior who is an Admiral in the Navy. The Admiral is the Commander of the Atlantic Fleet, the memo stated that code red disciplinary engagements are not to be condoned by any marine officer for any reason. Colonel Jessup did not follow the order set by the Admiral and therefore is responsible for the death of Santiago.

@EnigmaDrath The military has rules that all service members must follow. An obvious example is discipline but others include stuff like proper conduct of service members and whether orders are legal or not. If a member of the forces breaks military rules, they are subject to discipline. That discipline is imposed in military court.

EnigmaDrath 4 months ago
@EnigmaDrath A quick wikipedia search tells me that some countries do use the regular court system. The article on military justice gives the example of Germany.
As for why some countries do have a special system, I suspect it's just convenience, allowing judges to specialize. There are courts that deal specifically with criminal law, civil law (tort), family law, tax law and others. So why not a special division for military law?
Surax 4 months ago 2
@EnigmaDrath Members of the US military fall under the UCMJ. uniform code of military justice. Crimes committed by military members are tried in a military court martial. Our laws are more stringent. As a Marine I love this movie. But I agree w/ the Colonel. Tragic he died . But the Marine Corps is built on strong men who will kill when ordered. There is no room for weak cry babies. Hazing a Marine to perform better is common place in our world. First in defense of a nation falls on rough men.
bubejunkie 3 months ago
@bubejunkie
Or "Rough men" who know how to use their heads and not just their rifles or whatever. Real strength would have come from not following the order. The easy thing to do is just what they did, follow the order. Which is the point of the movie. It did not take a whole lot of strength to follow that order. It would have taken strength NOT to. Whether it was Tom Cruise or the 2 Marines. The point of the movie (i thought) was to stand up for what is right. Not for what is popular or easy.
drbayoms 3 months ago 2
@drbayoms
To not follow the order would be a blatant display of a lack of discipline, something the Marines pride themselves on. Now don't get me wrong: I do not support people refusing to question what they are told, as I find that doing so prevents preferable alternatives from being considered. However, I recognize that the kind of attitude I have in regards to following orders is simply incompatible with being a Marine. I may disagree with their attitude, but I can't argue with the results.
Smartass7777 3 months ago
@drbayoms
Of course, that isn't to say that I condone behavior such as hazing, particularly the hazing that ultimately led to the death of Santiago in the movie. I think it was correct for Jessup to be caught and punished, as he committed both a serious crime and something I personally find reprehensible. All I am saying is that I understand why he did what he did, and in a way I can almost respect him for it. I may take a different side, but I can still admire his dedication to his duty.
Smartass7777 3 months ago
@Smartass7777
But you are condoning hazing. By virtue of following the order....you are condoning it. Opposition to something that is wrong.....in your head, means nothing. Jessup gave that order because he was a weak and ineffective leader. It was a cop out. Whether it was Jessup, Downey, Dawson, Kendrick & even Kaffee. The point of the movie (to me) was how fear of doing the TRULY tough & TRULY courageous, can affect others. Jessup was not an admirable figure. He was a bully, a coward.
drbayoms 3 months ago
@drbayoms
I disagree; he may have been a fool and a bully, but certainly not a coward. He did what he felt was necessary; as I said, I find that dedication to his duty impressive and somewhat admirable. Although upon reflection, I suppose I should have said "his perception of his duty". Additionally, I stated quite clearly that I do not support people in the Armed Forces hazing one another, but that I also recognize the results, including the positive ones.
Smartass7777 3 months ago
@drbayoms
Furthermore, I also stated that I thought it was correct for Jessup to be punished; I would think that statement would make it evident that opposition to something I find wrong does, in fact, mean something. As I said, I considered his actions reprehensible, and thus I supported his punishment for those actions. And while I would agree that these actions ultimately make Jessup a less than admirable figure overall, I can still admit that his dedication is something impressive.
Smartass7777 3 months ago
@Smartass7777
I was just speaking in terms of those who follow an order that is wrong. I read your initial comments so I know that you do not personally condone hazing. The dedication of our women and men in uniform is impressive. Their discipline seems to be 2nd to none.
But I want everyone (Military personnel included) to put 'honor' in doing the right thing. Not in following unlawful or immoral orders because they are tied to powerful traditions. I understand your point.
drbayoms 3 months ago
@drbayoms
While I am glad that we have reached an agreement of sorts, we seem to have ignored the original reason for our disagreement: I found that Jessup's dedication to his perception of his duty was admirable, and the willingness of his men to follow his orders without question is understandable. While the way in which his dedication was directed may have been unlawful, the dedication itself is still admirable, as it shows a high level of personal strength when it comes to his morals.
Smartass7777 3 months ago
@drbayoms
My only opposition to these things is from a personal level; I personally disagree with this sort of unquestioning loyalty, but I would never want to inflict my opinion on others as law. Similarly, the reason his men followed those orders is because of the ways in which they are taught in the Marines. And frankly, their methods do have some positive results: the existence of strong men and women capable of doing what they feel is necessary to defend their nation.
Smartass7777 3 months ago
@drbayoms
Now again; I have my own reasons for finding this type of behavior and thinking counter-productive, but I refuse to elevate my own morals upon those of others. Though I may not like to admit it, there is nothing objective that makes Jessup's morals better than my own. This being the case, my major reason for supporting his punishment is that his actions were illegal. In other words, my personal reasons are why I condemn him, but the law is why I support punishing him.

coinchan 4 months ago
@coinchan As I understand it: He ordered a Code Red, which was the punishment the defendants had to administer on his orders. His direct order therefore was the direct cause of Santiago's death. Therefore, Col. Nathan Jessup committed Murder by Proxy. The defendants were Not Guilty of Murder because they had no way of knowing, at the time of following the order, that their actions would cause any lasting damage, let alone fatal damage, to Santiago. Hope that answers your question :)

@ArcticonTiger Military members fall under the UCMJ. WE Marines are to protect and fight for those who don't have the ability to. Just like he said in the final moments. Hazing a Marine who is incompetent is common place in our world. But to go about it in which to cause death is a crime. In Afghanistan we were ordered to engage the enemy if attacked. Now going in a village and blatently shooting unarmed farmers and claiming they "tried to attack" would be a crime. Liability lies w/ our superior
bubejunkie 3 months ago
@ArcticonTiger There is no such thing as murder by proxy. The causation you refer to is not direct, because he ordered them to administer a Code Red, not to murder Santiago (this was not a "hit"). The murder was accidental, and therefore, the only liability Jessup might have would be civil for a wrongful death suit.
He is going to jail because he committed perjury only seconds earlier and also violated the Marine Core Code of Conduct which prohibited "Code Red" orders of this kind.

Although he did touch on some valid points in his "lecture", this deluded him into thinking it was OK to disobey a direct order from the Admiral & order a Code Red.

Botton line a substandard military person should be transferred to a large facility first -- then if they cannot adapt discharge them.
