A Few Good Plot Holes...

A Few Good Plot Holes...
Add yours here.

For example, in the movie "A Few Good Men" one of Colonel Jessup's men covered  for him about documents and flights about the marine that was killed for a "code red". But in the movie the whistle blower gets put under witness protection as implied at a hotel. Here is what I don't get. If he is under witness protection how the fuck did he have access of his dress uniform  and a handgun to commit suicide ?

1.  He wasn't put under witness protection (the Navy can't do that).

2.  Even if he was, why wouldn't he have his uniform and sidearm?

It's not a plot hole, it's just something that you, personally, don't understand.

He was in a hotel protected as implied by the script.

I don't care if he was protected by the CIA. In the first scene after the whistle blower gets in the back of the car and discloses that he was aware of the code red. the next scene in the movie had the JAG/played by Tom Cruise show up to a hotel with personnel standing outside the room in the hallway. Later in the movie the whistleblower commits suicide. I would assume if he is under ANY KIND of government protection, he wouldn't have left that hotel.

I doubt any type of witness protection by any agency would allow those they are protecting to carry firearms.

In the movie Troy (2004) Akhilleus (Brad Pitt) wears an armor and yet Akhilleus is supposedly invulnerable (except his heel). I mean fuck the shield, he could have used his testicles as a shield, his dick as a sword stopper and his ass as a projectile bouncer.

But the answer is that Homer didn't consider Akhilleus to be invulnerable.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Only the US Marshal Service operates the Witness Protection Program. Sequestering a witness before trial isn’t the same as ‘witness protection’.

He didn’t indeed. The first hard reference to Achilles’ invulnerability is from the 1st Century CE. 

I think (could be wrong, it’s a long time since I’ve read it), Homer makes at least one reference to Achilles being wounded.

In the movie Liar Liar involving Jim Carrey he is supposed to be incapable of telling a lie. But at one point he answers a clear question and then claims that he didn't understand it after he gets a response that is very clearly understandable. It's an obvious lie that the writers clearly missed.
