Flight of the Intruder
:13:12
Are there times
:13:13
when you have the
moral obligation
:13:16
not to follow orders?
:13:18
Of course there are.
:13:21
The navy didn't tell you
to strafe women and children
:13:25
or do anything that violated
your conscience.
:13:30
But, you heroes,
you do not have the right
:13:34
to make up your own orders!
:13:36
You have abused my trust
and the trust of every officer
:13:40
in this squadron!

Courts-martial in the United States
Courts-martial in the United States are criminal trials conducted by the Military of the United States. Most commonly, courts-martial are convened to try members of the U.S. military for violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which is the U.S. military's criminal code. However, they can also be convened for other purposes, including military tribunals and the enforcement of martial law in an occupied territory. Courts-martial are governed by the rules of procedure and evidence laid out in the Manual for Courts-Martial and Military Rules of Evidence, respectively.
a military judge determines questions of law, and the members of the panel (or military judge in a judge-alone case) determine questions of fact.

General of the Armies
General of the Armies and General of the Armies of the United States are the highest possible ranks in the United States Army.
After World War II, which saw the introduction of U.S. "5-star" officers who outranked Washington, both Congress and the President revisited the issue of Washington's rank. To maintain George Washington's proper position as the first Commanding General of the United States Army, he was appointed, posthumously, to the grade of General of the Armies of the United States by congressional joint resolution Public Law 94-479 January 19, 1976, approved by President Gerald R. Ford on October 11, 1976. The law established the grade as having "rank and precedence over all other grades of the Army, past or present,"clearly making it superior to General of the Army. The Department of the Army Order 31-3, issued on March 13, 1978 had an effective appointment date of July 4, 1976. The rank ensures that no United States military officer outranks George Washington
