Synopsis (spoilers): A rescue operation at the American embassy in Yemen ends with the U.S. soldiers shooting at the angry mob. The commander of that operation is sent to court martial for violating the rules of engagement. He asks a fellow military whose life he had saved in Vietnam to defend him. The whole case boils down to deciding whether there were shooters among the crowd; a videotape proving that there were is destroyed by the American International Affairs bureaucrat, for political reasons.
Appraisal: Hopelessly silly, which is no surprise considering its screenwriter's other works; mildly entertaining at some points, but you can sense the underlying ridiculousness throughout.
