    "Why does a Lieutenant Junior Grade with nine months' experience and a track record for plea bargaining get assigned to a murder case? Would it be so it never sees the inside of a courtroom?" This was actually true. Aaron Sorkin read an article asking that very question about Military cases that were assigned to Jr Officers with little or no experience instead of to more experienced officers. Turn out that Senior officers did not want to risk their careers working controversial cases.

    • @codyallen211

      I think it's more like the opposite. Kaffee made a reputation of handling everything outside of court. Always bargaining instead of digging deeper. The hopes by "division", and in a way, Jessup, were that everything would be papered over.

      That’s true generally, but in this particular case, the senior officer who didn’t want to put his career at risk wasn’t another lawyer, but Col. Jessup: as mentioned earlier, after his tour at Gitmo ends, he’s going to be appointed Director of Operations for the National Security Council - that post is an automatic ticket to Brigadier General, provided there are no hiccups … having a Marine under his command murdered (on his order) by two other Marines, was a mess neither he nor the Corps needed, hence the desire to sweep everything under the rug …

      This scene is foreshadowing of the nth degree. As soon as Demi Moore suggests putting Jessup(Nicholson) to the stand Cruise goes on a tantrum that is reminiscent of the reaction they've got out of Jessup himself when he was put on the stand and how that affront led to him getting owned by his own lack of restraint.

    I actually never liked Galloway being the sympathetic figure here. She was asking the lead attorney to commit contempt, and she called him a coward if he didn’t.

      Which is preposterous - his father was a legend whose reputation was forged in winning huge major stakes trials (it can be inferred) and Danny is in his first trial. I was a trial attorney for many years and you can have all the ability and intelligence and judgement and erudition in the world in an attorney running their first trial and you still have an attorney in their first trial. There are so many things you cannot learn unless you learn them the hard way - by doing trial, after trial after trial after trial and you’re always learning. You would never in your right mind choose a first time attorney over a legendary trial lawyer, but that’s Hollywood!

And the way Sam takes the drink just to put out Kaffee's fire, as others have alluded to. Also at the end, when she walks out of the room, with slightly dewy eyes: she's gone from his commanding officer who had no respect for him to wanting to come up to his level as a lawyer and even being sweet on him. But of course, Cruise's hilarious tirade steals the show.

      It's an interesting subversion of a trope in this movie. We're set up in the beginning to think Galloway is the super competent advocate who will inspire the bumbling Kaffee to victory as we've seen in other movies. But as the movie goes along, her incompetence is slowly revealed more and more.
      In her defence, it's not like she's unaware of this. She even admits to Kaffee that she's not a good lawyer. I think she just sees that Kaffee has the skills to do what she wants to but can't regarding Code Reds and is desperate not to let the opportunity slip by.

      It’s kind of interesting how they took an atypical approach in resolving some of the major conflicts in this movie. The main characters still ended up partially losing their case, and Dawson and Downey still ended up getting dishonorably discharged, which was what they were mainly trying to avoid; Kaffee and Galloway’s romance didn’t end up going anywhere after this argument even though both are very attractive characters and they even went on a date; Galloway’s character actually kind of became weaker and more passive over the course of the film, and she never earned more respect from Kaffee or Weinberg past the first act.

      She goes pretty far outside of the normal scope of her job to make sure the case gets the attention it deserves, and its clear from the beginning that the higher-ups would prefer to have the case taken care of quietly if possible.
      Her risk may not be as big or as explicit as Danny's, but she's definitely gambling with the trajectory of her career from the moment she steps on screen.

She knows she's made a mistake here (and frankly one that's not very believable, which is a hole in Sorkin's writing) but she's thinking through the next steps. You're also discounting the many steps she takes to even move the case forward, none of which are going to help her career much either.

    This movie is remembered for the "you can't handle the truth" scene, but it is this scene (though based on a false premise) that pretty much made the movie, in my view. The acting was suburb. It was the turning point in the plot and for the actors. The false premise is the whole "can't accuse a decorated whatever without proof" nonsense. That's BS. I've confirmed that with several then current and former JAG officers. I hate when movies go to extremes to do things like this. In an earlier scene, Demi suggested going after the doctor about his inconsistent findings on the victim -- he didn't know the cause and then he did know an hour or two later after talking to Jack Nicholson's character. Cruse said, "we don't have proof so we can't do it" or something like that. That's BS. Any good lawyer would have asked that question or better yet made an entire sequence of questions about that. Testimony IS proof and half of all testimony is cross examination. So the whole can't accuse without proof means anyone can lie as long as there is no physical evidence out there contradicting the lie, and they can't be called on it. No jurisdiction that I know of has a rule of evidence like that.
