* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Some people take Jessep's courtroom rant as a [[Take That]] and a [[The Reason You Suck Speech]] towards the kind of [[Strawman Political|limousine liberals]] (who would never dream of joining the military themselves) who sit back and criticize armed might and believe the use of violence against anyone is illegitimate, all the while ostensibly being champions of the people and defenders of human rights and the guardians of the environment and so on, and yet in fact ''do'' nothing but ''talk,'' and attend parties and live rich and frivolous lifestyles and take in all the material benefits of the society and the system that they claim to oppose and abhor, and finally go to sleep every night under the guard of those same people who they disdain: those people who make personal and psychological sacrifices to defend them. Of course, this really only works when extracted from its context, as Jessep is arguably just as much of a hypocrite as they are.
* [[Misaimed Fandom]]: The number of viewers who admire Jessep's [[Motive Rant]] is staggering. Sure, he's supposed to have depth, and isn't a [[Card Carrying Villain]] but when he says soldiers shouldn't be accountable to the law, ''you're not supposed to agree with him''.
