foreign barnes maureen barracks windward guantanamo bay cuba
corporal barnes named some reasons why a marine would receive a code red
being late for platoon or company meetings keeping his barracks in disorder falling back on a run
have you ever received a code red yes sir we were doing seven man assault drills and my weapon
slipped it was just cause it was over 100 degrees and my palms were sweaty and i'd forgotten to use
the resin like we were taught what happened that night the guys in my squad threw a blanket over me
took turns punch him in the arm for five minutes and then they poured glue on my hands
and it worked too because i never dropped my weapon since
was private santiago ever late for platoon meetings yes sir was his
barracks every disorder yes sir did he ever fall back on a run all the times did he ever
prior to the night of september 6th receive a code red no sir never no sir
you got a code red because your palms were sweaty why didn't
santiago this burden to his unit ever get one dawson wouldn't allow it sir
dawson wouldn't allow it the guys talked tough about santiago but they wouldn't go near him they
were too afraid of dawson sir object the witness is speculating i'll rephrase jeffrey did you
ever want to give santiago a code red yes sir why didn't you because dawson would kick my butt sir

find the term code red in its definition in that book am i correct no sir no corporal barnes i'm
a marine is there no book no manual or pamphlet no set of orders or regulations that lets me know
that as a marine one of my duties is to perform code reds no sir no book sir no further questions
corporal would you turn to the page in this book that says where the mess hall is please

can't have from fun all right i have an obligation to tell you if you accuse kendrick or jessup of
any crime without proper evidence you're going to be subject to a court martial for professional
misconduct and that's something that's going to be stapled to every job application you ever fill out

consequences involved in accusing a marine officer of a felony without proper evidence
i've been so advised

you got bullied into that courtroom by the memory of a dead lawyer
you're a lousy [ __ ] softball player jack

lieutenant kenner can your opinion was private santiago a good marine
i'd say he was about average lieutenant you signed three proficiency and conduct
reports on santiago and all three reports you indicated rating of below average
yes private santiago was below average i did not see the need to trample on a man's grave well we
appreciate that but you're under oath now and i think unpleasant as it may be we'd all just soon
hear the truth i'm aware of my oath lieutenant these are the last three pro con reports you
you
