[Music] and your orders are always followed and why would Santiago be in danger why would it be necessary to transfer him off the base Santiago was a substandard marine he was being transferred not what you said you said he was being transferred because he was in grave danger that's correct you said he was in danger I said grave danger you said is there recall what I said I have the court reporter read back to you I know what I said I don't have to have it read back to me like I'm why the two orders Colonel sometimes men take matters into their own hands no sir you made it clear just a moment ago that your men never take matters in their own hands your men follow orders or people die so Santiago shouldn't have been in any danger at all should he have Colonel you snotty little bastard your honor I'd like to ask for a reset I'd like and answer the question judge the court will wait for an answer if Lieutenant Kendrick gave an order that Santiago wasn't to be touched and why did he have to be transferred Colonel Lieutenant Kendrick order the code red didn't he because that's what you told Lieutenant Kendrick to do and when it went bad you cut these guys loose you trans you doctored the log book the doctor yourself in Colon Jess did you order the code R you don't have to answer that question I'll answer the question you want answers I think I'm entitled you want answers I want the truth you can't handle the truth son we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns who's going to do it you you lieutenant Weinberg I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom You Weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines you have that luxury you have the luxury of not knowing what I know that Santiago's death while tragic probably saved lives and my existence while grotesque and incomprehensible to you saves lives you don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties you want me on that wall you need me on that wall we use words like Honor Code loyalty we use these words as the backbone of life spent defending something you use them as a punchline I have neither the time or the inclination to explain myself to a man who Rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very Freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it I would rather you just said Thank
