Military Maverick: Difference between revisions

** Three outs. Earlier in the movie, he specifically sought out a blanket permission from his platoon leader to depart from the training schedule. While granted that he did not tell Lt. Ring exactly how ''far'' he planned to depart from SOP, the fact remains that Gunny Highway can say with perfect truth that he was authorized to change the training policy on his own initiative.

*** Played straight later on in the scene in the major's office where he's about to prefer charges against Highway for violating regulations with his training -- until Lt. Ring speaks up and admits that he gave Highway permission to 'freelance', at which point the major disgustedly admits that he cannot punish Highway for disobeying orders because his chain of command had ordered him to do exactly what he was doing.
