I would respectfully disagree. In "A Few Good Men," the military was portrayed as, for the most part, an ethical institution (Cruise, Bacon, both the younger marines, Moore and Pollack) that was capable of weeding out the corrupt colonel. The only area where I think it strayed into typical liberal agitprop was the need to make Keifer Sutherland's psycho Lt. into a born again Christian.

The movie was fairly well done, and much of its portrayal of military personnel was favorable, but it had some elements that guaranteed that it would not be a really good movie:

1) Demi Moore
2) The entire premise that there would be such a huge scandal resulting from the death of a Marine as the result of a pre-existing medical condition. We're supposed to believe that two Marines will be court-martialed for murder, top Marine officers, including the base commander, will sacrifice all sense of honor and duty to set up those two Marines to be fall guys, and that another top Marine officer, a combat vet, will shoot himself out of remorse, all for some kid who died during what amounted to fairly mild hazing because of his medical condition.
3) Tom Cruise's technique for tripping up the base commander and getting him to admit to a serious crime that he has made his sole purpose to cover up for the entire movie - just ask the guy. If only all prosecutors knew this secret technique: just get the perp on the stand and ask him if he's guilty.

Your first point is very hard to overcome! Your third point was the crux of why Ebert didn't like the movie.

Especially Demi Moore with short hair.
