A Few Good Man "You Can't Handle the Truth"

One last question, before I call
Airmen O'Malley and Rodriguez.

If you ordered that Santiago wasn't
to be touched, -

- and your orders
are always followed, -

- then why was Santiago in danger?

Why would it be necessary
to transfer him off the base?

He was a substandard Marine.
He was being transferred...

You said he was transferred
because he was in danger.

I said, "grave danger?" and you
said... we can read it...

- I know what I said!
- Then why the two orders?

- Men can do things on their own.
- But your men never did.

Your men obey orders.
So Santiago wasn't in danger, right?
