He rated exceptional twice,
but on June 9th he's below average.
1:28:10
- I'd Iike to discuss that.
- Fine.
1:28:14
Dawson scored perfect at
Infantry School.
1:28:18
But unlike most of his class,
he hasn't been promoted.
1:28:23
- Was this report the reason?
- I'm sure it was.
1:28:28
- Do you know why he got this grade?
- No.
1:28:32
I have many men.
I write many reports.
1:28:36
Do you recall
an incident with PFC Curtis Bell?
1:28:41
- He stole from the Officers' Club.
- Yes.
1:28:46
Did you report him
to the proper authorities?
1:28:50
I have two books by my bed:
the Marine Code and the Bible.
1:28:55
The only proper authorities I know
are Col. Jessep and God.
1:29:02
Then you don't recognise this court
as a proper authority?
1:29:07
- Objection. Argumentative.
- Sustained. Watch yourself!
1:29:12
- Did you report Bell?
- I thought very highly of him.
1:29:18
- I didn't want to charge him.
- You wanted it handled in the unit?
1:29:26
- Yes, I most certainly did.
- Do you know what a Code Red is?
1:29:32
- Have you ever ordered one?
- No.
1:29:35
Did you order that Private Bell
get nothing but water for a week?
1:29:43
You're distorting the truth.
He was on barracks restriction.
1:29:48
He had water and vitamins.
His health was never in danger.
1:29:55
I'm sure it was Iovely for him.
But it was on your orders.
