There is a bit of film history about A Few Good Men that I was never aware of, despite having watched the movie many times over the years, including recently with my YouTube TV subscription. Writer Aaron Sorkin, who based the screenplay on a hit play that he’d written, drew a lot of inspiration from a true story that came from his sister, Deborah Sorkin. Deborah was a JAG officer for three years in the 1980s.
As part of her duties, she was sent to Guantánamo to represent a young Marine accused of a hazing incident. The details are quite different, but the true story is full of twists and turns, and ultimately, possibly murder.
