:45:00
A Navy Cross, two Silver Stars
for composure in battle.

:45:06
He has no wife, no kids,
just the Corps.

:45:09
He was our best.
That's why he was sent.

:45:13
He's not on trial for the
good service he gave the country,

:45:15
but for what he did
on the wallin Yemen, period.

:45:17
Major, nobody wants to say it,
:45:19
but it occurs to me we're trying
to set an example here.

:45:22
So let's set it and show
the world we mean business.

:45:25
The first charge supports the death
penalty, and I say we go for it.

:45:29
No more death.
:45:31
I'll see that he never gets another
command and I'll put him in jail,

:45:34
but I will not seek death for a man
who served his country honorably.

:45:37
I don't want it
brought up again.

:45:40
We gotta show
Childers' state of mind.

:45:43
We gotta prove he went out
with intent to kill,

:45:45
and that is not going to be easy.
:45:47
Whether a man is charged
with murder or hailed as a hero...

:45:50
is sometimes a very thin line.
:45:52
Our case is this. Childers receives
orders that a regularly scheduled,

:45:56
I awful protest outside
our embassy in Yemen is unruly.

:46:00
He is to secure
or evacuate the premises.

:46:03
There has been no violence
prior to his arrival.

:46:05
Once there, Ambassador Mourain...
:46:07
does not feel the situation
warrants evacuation.

:46:09
- Childers ignores him.
- There was sniper fire.

:46:12
They draw fire from snipers
across the street.

:46:15
Childers retaliates into an unarmed
crowd in front of the embassy.

:46:18
A crowd of women and children.
He shot the wrong people.

:46:24
All right, here's what this means.
:46:26
Murder... Obviously, he could get
up to the death penalty.

:46:28
Conduct unbecoming an officer.
:46:30
Max is dismissal
with a dishonorable discharge,

:46:33
for feature of all pay and allowances
and confinement for one year.

:46:37
What about breach
of peace? What is that?

:46:39
Breaching the peace is minor.
:46:41
That means participating in an act
of violent or turbulent nature...

:46:44
that deprives the community of the
peace and tranquility it deserves.

:46:47
It's sort of the military equivalent
of the civilian misdemeanor.

:46:50
No big deal.
:46:54
There he is!
You goddamn baby killer!

:46:57
Baby killer!
