I assume lots of Freepers have seen this film and whether you like it or not, this is a very amusing take on the depiction of the relevant judicial procedures with an actual Judge Advocate. It's pretty funny.
I had to laugh-I went to see “Top Gun-Maverick” and when Cruise’s character showed up in his dress whites, I could not help but hear the nasally voice of Jack Nicholson’s character in “A Few Good Men” speaking his mind when HE saw Cruise in the whites...
Flimsey Grahamnesty is a real jag..........
His speaking his mind is now carefully edited in current editions of that film.
I’ll bet people in most every profession get a kick out of TV/movie portrayals of them.
Just like news media’s shaky grasp of real world issues. Which is far, far more important.
There’s a saying that says military courts are to justice what military bands are to music. The court wouldn’t have allowed the defense to call the colonel. Like Breaker Morant, where all of the friendly witnesses were sent to India.
I cannot roll my eyes any more at this!
Ping!
Interestingly, Article 31 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the rights of an accused, predates Miranda by decades. My experience as a prosecutor, Aera Defense Counsel and Circuit Defense Counsel was that the car majority of the time the court or court martial panel got it right. There were notable exceptions.
