I thought Kelly was a pilot. He was not a JAG, so he has no business ‘advising’ military personnel about orders from the Commander in Chief. If a person in the Military believes that an illegal order has been issued, then he can bring it up with the JAG, but he better be right. Captain Kelly believes that he is better suited to render legal advice than JAG. For that, he must pay consequences for his actions.
The JAG’s real job is to protect the Commander. Average Soldiers can’t even get the time of day from them.
