JAG, Season 2

Chief Herradin:
Takes a big man to admit he's wrong, Commander.

Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb:
Well, I don't know about being a big man. But I was wrong.

Chief Herradin:
You're damn right you were wrong. My son died for his country. You tried to take that away from me.

Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb:
He didn't die for his country, Chief. He died for you.

Chief Herradin:
(chuckles) What's that supposed to mean?

Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb:
Your son was HIV positive.

Chief Herradin:
What?

Harm:
And he couldn't admit that to you. Or that he was a homosexual. So rather than face you, he stood up into Chief Connors' line of fire.

Chief Herradin:
(disbelieving look)

Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb:
Congratulations on your son's Navy cross, Chief.

(throws his entire glass of beer in Chief Herradin's face)

Lt. Cmdr. Harmon 'Harm' Rabb:
(cont'd): You earned it.
