Then you don't recognise this court
as a proper authority?
1:29:07
- Objection. Argumentative.
- Sustained. Watch yourself!
1:29:12
- Did you report Bell?
- I thought very highly of him.
1:29:18
- I didn't want to charge him.
- You wanted it handled in the unit?
1:29:26
- Yes, I most certainly did.
- Do you know what a Code Red is?
1:29:32
- Have you ever ordered one?
- No.
1:29:35
Did you order that Private Bell
get nothing but water for a week?
1:29:43
You're distorting the truth.
He was on barracks restriction.
1:29:48
He had water and vitamins.
His health was never in danger.
1:29:55
I'm sure it was Iovely for him.
But it was on your orders.
1:30:00
- You denied him food?
- Yes, I did.
1:30:04
- Would this be called a Code Red?
- No.
1:30:11
Would the other 478 marines
consider it a Code Red?
1:30:16
The witness can't know what
478 other men would say.
1:30:20
These questions are argumentative,
and irrelevant badgering.
1:30:26
Sustained. I would remind you,
1:30:31
that the witness has
an impeccable service record.
1:30:36
Was Dawson rated below average
for sneaking food to Private Bell?
1:30:43
- Object!
- Not so fast. Lieutenant?
1:30:48
Dawson was given a below average
rating for committing a crime.
1:30:55
What crime did he commit?
