Great reaction! I appreciated hearing your military perspective on things. Another great military investigation movie you might enjoy is Courage Under Fire. Excellent movie with a great cast that very few people have reacted to.
Thank you for your comment! I think I remember hearing about that movie back in the day, with Meg Ryan in it? I will try to get that going for you in the near future
Besides altering the flight logs, Colonel Jessup was 100% right. The only person who is guilty in reality was the doctor who failed to diagnose private Santiago’s illness.
Jack Nicholson got $5 million for 10 days work on this film. The famous court scene is worth every penny. The impression Tom Cruise did of Jack Nicholson was ad libbed. The reactions of Demi and Kevin are real. The guy who played Dawson had not been hired to play him, he was working for Rob Reiner the director on set and Rob decided he could play the role of Dawson. He did really well.
If you like courtroom dramas, you should also take a look at Twelve Angry Men (1957) with Henry Fonda and a great ensemble cast. One of my personal favorites. (ok not technically a courtroom drama since it all takes place in the jury room, but very similar)
25:00 Quite astute of you to see the potential conflict between Galloway representing a marine defendant and being part of internal affairs. Come to think of it, is it a conflict for Kaffee and Galloway to represent, or work together for, both defendants?
@@mikewatchesstuff I'm a lawyer but not a defense attorney so don't take my word as gospel. I think representing both criminal defendants is one of those things that's ill-advised but not illegal or unethical if both defendants had the same exact roles in the crime and wanted to be tried instead of plea bargain. If the defendants need appointed lawyers, then the court no doubt would give them separate counsel, which didn't happen in the film.
@eriksmith2514 @eriksmith2514 This seems like it's one of those technicalities that we're not supposed to dig too deep because it's 'just a movie' 😄 Thinking about it some more, it probably wouldn't be a conflict had both young marines had their own separate defense counsel and they worked together. I see this all the time in my line of work, but that is in regards to premises and products liability and not criminal defense. I mean it really just seems that the fact that Galloway is internal affairs and involved directly in the defense seems to be super weird.
Navy lawyers and doctors go to Officer Indoctrination School at Naval Station Newport after they're commissioned. Some of them don't learn very much there about military courtesy, as I witnessed
another good military movie to review and one of the best military movie based on actual events is We Are Soldiers....another hot one to watch, is GREYHOND. staring Tom Hanks... also of note with A Few Good Men... the movie was based on an actual JAG court marshal that was done at Gitmo and not at JAG headquarters in the Washington Navy Yard... and there were 12 defendants and not 2
Kaffee won the battle, but would most likely lose the war. Doubtful that Jessup would go to prison given his high profile friends. He'd probably be encouraged to resign his commission and then take a job at a private think tank that gets military contracts making him a 7-figure salary. Kaffee would get his steak knives, then promptly be shipped out to Alaska or something to litigate disagreements between rabbits.
"Kaffee would get his steak knives, then promptly be shipped out to Alaska..." No, he would become famous and represent high-profile defendants in the private sector. Like his dad.
@@eriksmith2514 Agreed ... after he resigned. But you know, then he'd get married and that FIRM that hired him would be into the mob and doing shady things. Then they'd try to kill him and it would be a big mess
with the charges that Jessop would be facing he wouldn't get off, they would include Conduct unbecoming,, obstruction of Justice, perjury, makeing false statements to both the investigating JAG officers and the investigating NIS special Agents, and the big one ... Murder....because his unlawful order resulted in the death of a member of his command...
Please note, this is based on a true story that actually happened. And the man who squealed and was talking about it was found, murdered in his dress blues execution style, and it is an unsolved mystery to this day. His name is David Cox…. Look it up!!!!!
The title of the movie comes from a recruiting campaign slogan "The Marines are looking for a few good men" is a well-known recruiting slogan for the United States Marine Corps, signifying their search for strong, dedicated individuals to join their ranks; the phrase originates from a historical advertisement placed by Captain William Jones in 1779 seeking "a few good men" to enlist in the Continental Marines. It was replaced in 2007 with “The Few, the Proud, the Marines”. ruclips.net/video/YC82SwuDrcE/видео.html
There isn’t. Conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman exists but only for officers. Enlisted men would probably have an Article 134 (which I personally call the “just because” article) cause while they were technically following orders, it was an unlawful order and they should’ve known better.

Kevin Bacon doesn't get enough credit for this film. He killed it.
hope you saw him in "Sleepers"-he was amazing
UK here, we have this on our free to air TV at least once a year, if this is on, I’m watching, just epic
One of the best reviews of this magnificent movie on RUclips.
Thank you!❤

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it! I have uploaded Courage Under Fire for you, I hope it is enjoyable!
OMG!! That is so amazing! Let me watch it right now. @@mikewatchesstuff
Classic movie! I enjoyed the insight you provided and your personal life tie-ins with some of the things that happen in the movie
Hey friend, thanks for dropping in once again! Glad you enjoyed the reaction!
Besides altering the flight logs, Colonel Jessup was 100% right. The only person who is guilty in reality was the doctor who failed to diagnose private Santiago’s illness.
That's why he probably was simply forced to retire.

I thoroughly appreciate you talking about the honor aspect.

I feel like it is, right? Maybe an attorney will see this and provide commentary

Good reaction to a classic movie, I like your calm style, without the over the top reactions. Keep up the videos
Hey thanks so much! Thank you for watching!

I'm not military but I think I did hear there is no conduct unbecoming charge for enlisted marines only for officers
There isn’t. Conduct unbecoming of an officer and a gentleman exists but only for officers. Enlisted men would probably have an Article 134 (which I personally call the “just because” article) cause while they were technically following orders, it was an unlawful order and they should’ve known better.
The Caine Mutiny
Love your content bro! You should check out K-19 the widowmaker! It’s about a Soviet submarine crew. Good movie
Watch Hacksaw Ridge if you haven't. I would love to see your reaction.
Hi Mandi, this is one that has been on the list. I'll try to watch it and get it on the channel soon!
