* JadedWashout: Hodges is an interesting case. The description of him states that he returned from a brutal battle in Vietnam and “became a cynic” graduating 67th in his law school class at Georgetown Law[[note]]which is actually quite good, because the school is prestigious and each graduating class is made up of several hundred students[[/note]], has lost more cases than he won, and is two weeks from retirement. [[CoolLoser But he made Colonel, implying a highly successful career as a JAG attorney, and is shown to be well-liked by other marines during his retirement party.]]
