In previous seasons, JAG played like an exciting legal thriller. In these latter episodes, there is little intrigue. This particular episode involves an infantry Marine in Iraq gunning down an unarmed Iraqi who was begging for his life and the act being caught on camera. Having watched JAG for a while, I can't remember any combat troop being convicted of killing a civilian. What you will find in this show is a total lack of any criticisms of what the US military is meant to do: kill people efficiently. The only problems that apparently plague the military are that it sometimes mistreats some women and homosexuals; other than that, it is the march of God on earth.
In the case, they find evidence that the unarmed Iraqi who was shot was actually reaching for explosives, thus justifying the slaying of all those Iraqi civilians since the dawn of the Iraq War. One wonders if the Pentagon funded this show, as it is unabashed propaganda.
