@@mikeedwards320 She is still a superior officer and disrespect is conduct unbecoming regardless of whether or not she is in the chain of command. I’ve tried enough summary courts martial cases to know. Even if you are in the right, you do not disrespect a superior officer. You can salute and respectfully explain your position.
@@DM-w5o wrong he is not in uniform and is on his own time superior officer or not she doesn’t have the right to talk to him in the disrespectful manner that she did
@@mikeedwards320 Nope. He’s on base and he knew who she was. Even off base, if you knowingly disrespect a superior you can be prosecuted. As the IG of U.S. ARMY Japan, I reviewed several similar cases, prosecuted by the JAG, because a Soldier filed an IG complaint, thinking that being off duty and out of uniform gave him/her a get out of jail free card.
It's amazing how good Lt Kaffee is. He is well informed and smart and suave and knows things and clearly has discerned his role and hers very quickly but puts a veneer, a facade just to keep his playboy outlook going or to confuse others on purpose to get joy out of it. Cruise deserved an Oscar for that movie
Yeah, he's not engaged but it's not because he isn't competent. Galloway, for all her faults, gets him invested in the case and puts that talent to work for her clients.
I've done something wrong again, haven't I? 🤣😂You get the sense that a lot of Kaffey's slacker routine was an act. He'd use it to get opposing attorneys to drop their guard..or irritate senior officers who pissed him off (like this incompetent wannabe lawyer trying to insinuate herself into his case).
It's not the only time both Tom and Demi play navy officers. What other movies were they in as USN officers. Tom has acted in navy, marines, and army. Waiting on a script where he's a USAF general.
Well they just stopped the colonel from advancing in his career. His trial is never revealed but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard for a court and some military shenanigans to go on to enter some form of agreement leading to his retirement. So at the end of the day the they got the same result and the guy who did it isn't keeping the job still anyway. Cruise's character also just lost his perfect record on a slam shut case so that could affect him hitting big at some big law firm (hyper competitive but he WAS on the right track)
She was bluffing. The entire time she knew that she didn't have the support of anyone in authority. She was trying to cajole him into doing what she wasn't capable of doing. He read her and knew that he could dismiss here without fear of real consequence. Only one of the three on the defense team was competent and he didn't care at all. He just followed orders and got the job done. Without him neither Moore or Cruise's character would have found their passion, seized the moment and overcame their shortcomings.
Hollywood heroes are always jackasses at first, in order to make you judge a book by its cover. Let's see who else is normally a cocky jackass in movies. GEORGE CLOONEY. ROBERT DOWNEY JR. CLINT EASTWOOD. WILL FERELL. CLARK GABLE. MEL GIBSON. MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY. BRAD PITT. WILL SMITH. SPENCER TRACEY. VINCE VASUGHN.
Why? Just because he prefers to plea bargain as opposed to taking it to trial? Taking it to trial takes up a lot more precious resources than plea bargaining. Jo may think she he is trying to get Kaffee the true meaning of justice but what she's doing is looking down on Kaffee because he resolves all of his cases with plea bargains, while she is so opposed to plea bargaining that as a trial lawyer, she only resolved three cases in two years. In real life, Jo would be considered too inefficient to be employable as a lawyer and too many lawyers like her would cause the justice system to collapse.
@@brianmanning4791 ... just for the record, the two marines were engaged in a criminal conspiracy that led to the death of another marine. That's felony murder. He was going to have them walk in a few months? They admitted to being part of a conspiracy. The prosecution should have added conspiracy to the charges. BTW, there was more than enough evidence to convict.
That depends what you’re charged with and how strong the case is. I suspect he got some pretty good deals for some of those 44 defendants, most of whom were probably very guilty.
Negligent homicide. Assault and battery. Failure to follow lawful orders. Insubordination. Conduct unbecoming. The movie never explains is; where the hell is the company commander and first sergeant in all this.
They started with murder in order to bury these kids forever. This was assigned to Kaffee with the idea that he would plea it down just to get it off his desk. When it looked like he might get the Colonel involved, they offered assault and conduct unbecoming, dropping the murder charge entirely. But of course, when they went to trial, it reverted back to murder and conspiracy. The intent was manufactured because they had to play up the poison angle to deflect any attention away from Jessup or Kendrick being implicated in the death. Not when Jessup was about to become a Washington big shot.
While your outside hitting a ball...
You need to practice!!!! 😂😂😂
Half his swings in that scene were popups or straight whiffs. He absolutely needed the practice.
In the real world, this dialog would have found him defending himself in a Captain’s Mast or General Courts Martial.

What he got was even worse..a gung-ho incompetent wannabe attorney insinuating herself into his case.
Demi Moore was gorgeous..
She certainly was. Moore was at the height of her career. Now several plastic surgeries later, she can barely get a costar role with B-list actors.

We can't even think of talking back to a senior like this in India.
Nor can Americans when it's not in a Hollywood film ;-)
Same here in the States, it's just a movie. In real life, he would have been in a lot of trouble.
A lot of Americans speak their mind even to their bosses.

Well, when you settle 44 cases out of court in nine months, you have to know how to schmooze
Beautiful woman while in their youth
It's not the only time both Tom and Demi play navy officers. What other movies were they in as USN officers.
Tom has acted in navy, marines, and army. Waiting on a script where he's a USAF general.
Damm she has a body in her prime
A few good men, and a woman with knockers.
Grounded
When the case is said and done the two marines got the same discharge they would have got with a plea deal.
Yeah, but they got to destroy the career and retirement of a Colonel who had gotten a bit full of himself.
Well they just stopped the colonel from advancing in his career. His trial is never revealed but I'd imagine it wouldn't be too hard for a court and some military shenanigans to go on to enter some form of agreement leading to his retirement.

Yeah but they didn't have the long ass prison sentence. Maybe those two bonehead will join the national guard.
But they didn't get the twelve years he started with, or the six months he was offered to let it die quietly.

What does Galloway got against Persian bazaars?!
That is quite a douchey thing to do to let your clients rot in jail while you're out playing softball.
He obviously needed the practice , you douche
Side view.
Id talk to his supervisor about his unprofessional cocky ass period!! CODE RED 🚩🚩🚩
He would not be my first choice for my lawyer.

@@BillyButcher90 I understand plea bargaining, but him as my lawyer No. I should have explained better.
