In A Few Good Men, young lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee is tasked with defending two Marines accused of murdering a fellow Marine. As he digs deeper, Kaffee discovers a shocking truth about the chain of command, leading to an intense courtroom showdown where he demands the truth, famously asking, “You can’t handle the truth!”
A fan theory suggests that if Kaffee had decided not to press the case and let the Marines get off lightly, the entire military system could have been affected, leading to more cover-ups and corruption. What if he chose to ignore the truth?
One key moment in the film is when Kaffee finally confronts Colonel Jessup in court, forcing him to reveal the truth behind the orders to carry out the “code red” that led to the death. The tension in this scene is palpable, as it highlights the struggle between doing what’s right and protecting one’s career.
In an alternate ending, what if Kaffee had lost the case? The film could have ended on a darker note, with no justice served. A prequel could dive into Kaffee’s early career and how his relationship with his father shaped his view on justice.
