:43:04
At least two of his own guys
are gonna testify...
:43:06
that he didn't have
to open fire, sir.
:43:09
Nobody reports seeing any
weapons among the demonstrators.
:43:13
- His psych eval was a disaster.
- What about embassy footage?
:43:16
Cameras, film, videotape,
home movies, shit like that?
:43:18
No, I've subpoenaed everything.
The embassy got hit pretty good.
:43:23
Most of it was destroyed.
:43:31
Terry, you know Tom Chandler.
He's gonna help us prepare your case.
:43:33
Colonel Childers, good to see
you again, sir. Um, all right.
:43:37
First, we've subpoenaed all
the Article 32 investigator's notes,
:43:41
the State Department's
notes on Yemen.
:43:42
Major Biggs has already had
your head checked by their doctor.
:43:46
I've got you an appointment
with ours.
:43:48
- No.
- What?
:43:50
No more multiple choice
questions about self-esteem.
:43:53
We got the combat fitness reports.
He can forget the psych eval here.
:43:55
That's a mistake, Colonel.
:43:57
Listen, when I turned 18
I joined the Marine Corps.
:44:01
I asked to be in the infantry.
:44:03
- I asked to go to Vietnam.
- Terry.
:44:05
I live for the privilege
of commanding troops.
:44:07
I think it's the greatest honor
an American can have.
:44:10
You know how many birthdays
and Christmases I missed,
:44:12
spent rotting in jungles
or in the desert,
:44:14
just so you could play
war at ROTC?
:44:16
Childers! You gotta keep
your shit together here, man.
:44:20
Your court-martial board
is gonna be made up of people...
:44:23
who might've spent one day in
Grenada, maybe two days in Kuwait.
:44:25
They're gonna be beach boys who've
never been anywhere near combat.
:44:28
They're gonna be people
like Tom Chandler...
:44:29
sitting right here in front of you.
:44:31
That's who you're
making your case to.
:44:34
We don't have anybody
to back up your case.
:44:38
That's because
all my witnesses are dead.
:44:42
- Okay. So what happened?
- He lost it. He snapped.
:44:46
That's good.
We can snap him on the stand.
:44:47
This doesn't happen in a vacuum.
:44:49
Let's get a complete history
of Colonel Childers.
:44:51
Talk to every marine
he ever served with.
:44:54
My guess is
this has happened before.
:44:56
We have to be careful here.
:44:58
This guy is
the warrior's warrior.
