Even the lawyers serving in the American military are dedicated and sometimes even heroic. The Judge Advocate General Corps (JAG) has inspired many hit TV series and films, like “A Few Good Men” and “JAG.” They all owe a debt of gratitude to the classic 1955 film “The Caine Mutiny” and Herman Wouk’s novel and Broadway play on which it was based.
