Kaffee defends a group who say they were ordered to carry out the 'Code Red' that led to the death of a man.

Quote: Col. Nathan R. Jessep

You want answers?

Lt. Daniel Kaffee

I think I'm entitled to them.

Col. Nathan R. Jessep

You want ANSWERS?!

Lt. Daniel Kaffee

I want the truth!

Col. Nathan R. Jessep

You can't handle the truth!! Son, we live in a world that has walls and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's going to do it, you? You Lieutenant Weinberg?! I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury, you have luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to someone who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Either that or you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you are entitled to.

Lt. Daniel Kaffee

Did you order the Code Red?

Col. Nathan R. Jessep

I did the job...

Lt. Daniel Kaffee

Did you order the Code Red!?

Col. Nathan R. Jessep

You’re Goddamn right I did!
