We've seen the screenplay based on the government's theory. It's called Apocalypse Now ~ and that, in turn, was based on Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.

The primary defect in this whole business is that no one in the chain of command seems to have any familiarity with war movies or English literature.

Another frequently copied "war story" is Arjuna's Celestial Journey ~ it's in the Mahabarata.

One of the Navy Department's lawyers on the prosecuting team is having a big laugh over this one. I hope they catch her and stick her in the brig for a very long time.

This particular incident is based on the war movie, BREAKER MORANT !!

Sad, but true, we just can’t see it any other way...because the alternative to it being based on any other theory we are discussing are much more frightening than BREAKER MORANT
