Just watched A Few Good Men...

[PoPPeR]

I really like the movie, honestly I had never know that the whole "you cant' handle the truth" joke that i've heard so many times came from this movie. Anyways, I felt compassion for both sides, Jack Nicholson was defending his country, an accident occured that shouldn't of resulted in death, but in the great judicial system that is America, both sides lost. Anyways, great movie and I'm glad I saw it. One question though... if something like this occured today, would the public know about it? How much would be covered up, and how much of a military court trial be broadcast or publicized?

A few Good Men is an awesome movie IMO

As for how much would be released to the public and what would be covered up, I'm not sure

i personally loved it, but i was also reading some amazon.com reviews and one ex-marine didn't like it, which is understandable. Just like when they make movies that portray computer geeks to fit the stereotypical image, naturally a computer geek wont like that. Granted, I realize the marines is something a little more serious, and I've never served it in before, but as a movie I thought it was extremely good
