Who Ordered the Pardon

[Throughout "A Few Good Men," the question of who ordered the disciplinary assault (the "Code Red") on Private Santiago is central. Initially, Jessup, as the base's commanding officer, denies authorizing any such order. However, under relentless cross-examination from Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise), Jessup is pressed about inconsistencies in his statements regarding the order and Santiago's safety. Jessup finally loses his composure and angrily confesses: "You're goddamn right I did!" This confession confirms his direct responsibility for initiating the illegal disciplinary action.]
