Storyline

In a local church a Marine general has presented a guest sermon, including certain remarks about the Islamic faith, which some listeners and reporters have interpreted in different ways; that same general has become appointed to a joint position in cooperation with a general of the Iraqi army. A turmoil ensues. A court of inquiry leads to a general court-martial; Mac prosecutes, Harm defends, and a woman TV reporter agitates. Sturgis comes under scrutiny over a complaint of racial bias by a Naval officer of Korean descent about an incident in a previous episode; after discussion between Bud, the investigator, and the complainant, the latter withdraws his gripe. The gang leans hard on Coates, asking whether the admiral will marry Meredith; she gives an encoded answer. Written by DocRushing
