I was in the fifth grade of elementary school when I watched this movie. It was embarrassing to watch this movie in the cinema. . .

I've read the novel before, so I didn't feel like watching the movie - I've been looking for the difference between the script and the original, but...I think about it, the general in the movie is more shameless than the one in the novel

[in a flashback, General Campbell meets with General Sonnenberg to discuss Elisabeth Campbell's rape at West Point]
Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: I want justice for my daughter.
Gen. Sonnenberg: I would give anything for this never to have happened, but it did, and I'm trying to tell you the reality of the situation. We'll never find them, so we'll never know who did it. But we do know this... a coed academy is a good call, a necessary call. Better one unreported and unvindicated rape than to shake the foundations of West Point... to cast suspicion on a thousand soldiers who did not gang-rape a woman that night. All you have to do is convince your daughter that she, the academy, the Army, and the cause of equality would be best served if she just forgot about the whole thing. These are the times we live in, Joe.
Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: [in the present] He was right. If it had gone public, it would have permanently damaged women in the military. It would've destroyed West Point. It was an untenable situation.

[Brenner reveals the names of the rapists from West Point to General Campbell]
Col. George Fowler: You were just doing what you said - Trying to protect her.
Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: I did what I had to. What I thought best for everyone concerned. There's nothing else that could have been done. We never would have found them anyway.
Brenner: Here you are, sir.
Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: [Brenner lays down a paper in front of the General] What is that?
Brenner: The names of the perpetrators my associate agent Sunhill, found with a minimum of trouble. Apple pie, sir.
Lt. Gen. Joseph Campbell: That's just brilliant.
