And so he demands justice.
So he demands a court-martial to clear his name.
Oh, it's quite a case.
I mean, this is how I got a whole book out of this, you know, this seemingly simple case.
Because it's, you know, the story arrives with him that he's been having sex with a man or possibly men.
But the concern becomes he seems to fit a model, right?

He's not sort of a traditional manly man of the army.

And Gaffney had run into some legal trouble, and Newberg, as the chaplain in the unit, said, well, I'll help you.
I'll do the best I can to get you some legal advice.
