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?
1:31:00
Lt. Kendrick, Dawson brought
a hungry guy some food.
1:31:06
- What crime did he commit?
- Disobeying an order.
1:31:11
So, because he made a decision about
the welfare of a marine,
1:31:16
that conflicted with your order,
he was punished.
1:31:20
Dawson disobeyed an order!
1:31:23
It wasn't a real order, was it?
It's peacetime!
1:31:28
He wasn't asked
to advance on a beachhead.
1:31:31
Surely a marine of his intelligence
could distinguish important orders
1:31:38
from those that might be
morally questionable?
1:31:44
Can Dawson determine on his own,
which orders to follow?
1:31:51
- No, he cannot.
- He learned that?
1:31:55
- I would think so.
- You know so, don't you?
