lawyer and best friend to Kafee, our hero

marine who dies while being "disciplined". Spanish/Cuban accent

represents and knows God's will on earth. 
JACK ROSS: (30's) Lawyer for the Marines, fair, witty and very competent
JEFFERY HOWARD: (20's) Likes to laugh, a witness in the case, good
marine, who gets very nervous in the courtroom
