Quote

Kaffee: name some reasons why a Marine would relieve a code red? Cpl. Barnes: [while on the witness stand] being late for platoon or company meetings, keeping his barracks in disorder, falling back on a run. Kaffee: have you ever received a code red? Cpl. Barnes: yes sir, we were doing seven man assault drills and my weapon slipped. It was just so it was over a hundred degrees and my palms were sweaty and I forgot to use the resin like we were taught Kaffee: what happened? Cpl. Barnes: that night the guys in my squad threw a blanket over me, took turns punching me in the arm for five minutes, then they poured glue in my hands and it worked too because I ain't dropped my weapon since Kaffee: was Private Santiago late for platoon meetings? Cpl. Barnes: yes sir Kaffee: were his barracks ever in disorder? Cpl. Barnes: yes sir Kaffee: did he ever fall back on a run? Cpl. Barnes: all the time sir Kaffee: did "ever" prior to the night of September sixth ever receive a code red? Cpl. Barnes: no sir Kaffee: never? Cpl. Barnes: no sir Kaffee: you got a code red because your palms are sweaty Kaffee: why didn't Santiago, this burden to his unit, ever get one? Cpl. Barnes: Dawson wouldn't allow it sir Kaffee: [looking at the jury] Dawson wouldn't allow it Cpl. Barnes: the guys talked tough about Santiago but they wouldn't go near him, they were too afraid of Dawson sir Capt. Ross: object, the witness is speculating Kaffee: I'll rephrase, Jeffery did you ever want to give Santiago a code red? Cpl. Barnes: yes sir Kaffee: why didn't you

not wanting to see his record tarnished by a formal charge.
00:00:03.923 --> 00:00:06.079
You preferred it be handled within the unit?
00:00:08.527 --> 00:00:10.461
Yes, I most certainly did.
00:00:11.697 --> 00:00:14.928
- Do you know what a Code Red is? - Yes, I do.
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.197
- Have you ever ordered a Code Red? - No, I have not.
00:00:18.027 --> 00:00:21.364
Did you order Dawson and two other men to make sure that Private Bell...
00:00:21.044 --> 00:00:26.878
received no food or drink, except water, for a period of seven days?
00:00:26.946 --> 00:00:29.244
That is a distortion of the truth, Lieutenant.
00:00:29.315 --> 00:00:31.579
Private Bell was placed on barracks restriction.
00:00:31.065 --> 00:00:34.744
He was given water and vitamin supplements, and I can assure you...
00:00:34.082 --> 00:00:38.779
at no time was his health in danger.
00:00:38.857 --> 00:00:41.587
I'm sure it was lovely for Private Bell.
00:00:41.066 --> 00:00:44.322
But you did order the barracks restriction, didn't you?
00:00:44.396 --> 00:00:48.056
- You did order the denial of food? - Yes, I did.
00:00:48.634 --> 00:00:52.434
Wouldn't this form of discipline be considered a Code Red?
00:00:53.435 --> 00:00:54.435
No.
00:00:55.241 --> 00:00:59.109
If I called the other 478 Marines at Guantanamo Bay to testify...
00:00:59.178 --> 00:01:01.271
would they consider it a Code Red?
00:01:01.347 --> 00:01:05.306
The witness can't possibly testify as to what 478 other men would say.
00:01:05.384 --> 00:01:09.252
We object to this entire line of questioning. It's argumentative...
00:01:09.321 --> 00:01:11.687
and irrelevant badgering of the witness.
00:01:11.001 --> 00:01:14.001
The government's objection is sustained, Lieutenant Kaffee...
00:01:14.999 --> 00:01:17.999
and I would remind you that you're now questioning a Marine officer...
00:01:17.663 --> 00:01:19.001
with an impeccable service record.
00:01:19.999 --> 00:01:21.423
Thank you, Your Honor.
00:01:22.501 --> 00:01:26.301
Lieutenant, was Dawson given a rating of below average on this last report...
00:01:26.372 --> 00:01:29.239
because you learned he'd been sneaking food to Private Bell?
00:01:29.001 --> 00:01:32.999
- Object! - Not so fast. Lieutenant?
00:01:34.246 --> 00:01:37.001
Lance Corporal Dawson was given a below average rating...
00:01:38.884 --> 00:01:41.352
because he had committed a crime.
00:01:41.042 --> 00:01:44.685
A crime? What crime did he commit?
00:01:48.999 --> 00:01:54.999
Dawson brought a hungry guy some food. What crime did he commit?
00:01:56.999 --> 00:01:57.926
He disobeyed an order.
00:01:58.001 --> 00:02:00.494
And because he exercised his own set of values...
00:02:00.572 --> 00:02:03.999
because he made a decision about the welfare of a Marine...
00:02:03.642 --> 00:02:07.271
that was in conflict with your order, he was punished, is that right?
00:02:07.346 --> 00:02:10.999
Lance Corporal Dawson disobeyed an order.
00:02:10.001 --> 00:02:13.999
Yeah, but it wasn't a real order, was it?
00:02:13.999 --> 00:02:15.001
After all, it's peacetime.
00:02:15.821 --> 00:02:19.013
He wasn't being asked to secure a hill or advance on a beachhead.
00:02:19.999 --> 00:02:23.595
I mean, surely a Marine of Dawson's intelligence...
00:02:23.001 --> 00:02:26.756
can be trusted to determine on his own which are the important orders...
00:02:26.999 --> 00:02:30.001
and which orders might, say, be morally questionable?
00:02:33.001 --> 00:02:35.001
Can he?
00:02:35.001 --> 00:02:39.999
Can Dawson determine on his own which orders he's going to follow?
00:02:39.578 --> 00:02:41.273
No, he cannot.
00:02:41.001 --> 00:02:44.998
A lesson he learned after the Curtis Bell incident, right?
00:02:44.149 --> 00:02:47.991
- I would think so. - You know so, don't you?
00:02:47.013 --> 00:02:48.001
- Object! - Sustained.
00:02:50.001 --> 00:02:53.001
Lieutenant Kendrick, one final question.
00:02:55.002 --> 00:02:58.001
If you had ordered Dawson to give Santiago a Code Red...
00:02:58.001 --> 00:03:02.001
- I specifically ordered those men... - Would he disobey you again?
00:03:02.001 --> 00:03:06.999
- Lieutenant, don't answer that! - You don't have to. I'm through.
00:03:06.001 --> 00:03:10.501
Lieutenant Kendrick, did you order Lance Corporal Dawson...
00:03:10.999 --> 00:03:14.535
and Private Downey to give Willie Santiago a Code Red?
00:03:17.075 --> 00:03:20.999
- No, I did not. - Thank you.
00:03:24.069 --> 00:03:26.851
What's the word?
00:03:26.001 --> 00:03:31.191
I got the tower chief's log from that night. Jessup's telling the truth.
00:03:31.001 --> 00:03:35.495
- 6:00 a.m. flight was the first plane. - Let me see this.
00:03:45.999 --> 00:03:48.001
- Working late tonight? - Oh, yeah.
