November 5, 2006: Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAGs)

You’ve seen the TV show (maybe you even had an encounter with one while in the service); now learn what the Judge Advocate General's Corps is all about.Are JAGs there only to prosecute or defend members of our military? What happens when a member of our military runs afoul of the law in another country? Who created the position of Judge Advocate General? When? Is the US military the only military that contains this branch? Do our troops really need a legal opinion before they can return fire? (The answer may amaze you). What is the role of the JAG in Iraq and Afghanistan?Hosts Gary Lillie and Dale Throneberry talk with guests Capt. David Machado and Capt. Russell Brown, both of them Army JAGs.
