An Officer and a Gentleman?
Who is the lieutenant who says the war is "immoral" and that he doesn't have to deploy with his troops? Exactly what kind of coward is he?
Is he supposed to pick and choose his fights? Was he so stupid that when he volunteered for the Army that he didn't know he might have to follow a few orders that he didn't like?
What are commanders supposed to do when they order a soldier to charge a machine gun nest? Are they supposed to form a committee and discuss the moral implications and legalities of charging machine gun nests?
Does he think that he will have the moral authority to order men into situations that they deem immoral and illegal should he ever find himself in a combat situation? Will he expect his troops to follow his orders to the letter without argument?
Why doesn't this scum resign his commission if he doesn't like the war? Why is he hanging around with all those Hollywood hot-shots who use him to undermine troop moral? Why is he not in Leavenworth yet?
