Lt. Kendrick: Private Santiago was a member of second platoon bravo Col. Jessup: Apparently his not very happy down here because his written letters to everyone but Santa Clause is asking for a transfer and now his telling tales about a fence line shooting Matthew? Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: I'm appalled sir Col. Jessup: [in his office] You're appalled, this kid broke the chain of command and ratted on a member of his unit. To say nothing of the fact that he is a US marine, that would appear that he can't run from here to there without collapsing from heat exhaustion. What the fuck is going on in Bravo Company? Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: I think it's better to hold this discussion in private Lt. Kendrick: [to Jessup] that won't be necessary I can handle the situation Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: The same way you handled the Curtis Bell incident? Don't interrupt me lieutenant, I'm still your superior officer Col. Jessup: [to Markinson] And I am yours, I want to know what we're going to do about this Lt. Col. Matthew Andrew Markinson: I think Santiago should be transferred off the base immediately Col. Jessup: Maybe I'm just spitballing here, maybe we have a responsibility as officers to train Santiago, maybe we as officers have a responsibility to this county to see that the men and women charged with its security are trained professionals. I'm certain I've read that somewhere once, and now I'm thinking your suggestion of "transferring Santiago" while expeditious and painless might not be in the manner of speaking, the "American way". Santiago stays where he is, we're going to train the lad
