The Government of the United States wants to charge you two with murder. You want me to go to the prosecutor with unit, corps, god, country?

— A Few Good Men ‧ 1992

Our interpretation.

The speaker warns that the government itself is pressing a murder charge against the two people addressed. They ask, with evident disbelief, whether they are expected to bring only slogans (unit, corps, god, country) to a prosecutor as a defence.
