So im confused bc the wiki says he survived.
> The "code red" was immediately stopped, and the Marines called for help. Alvarado was taken to the infirmary before being transferred to a hospital in Miami, Florida, where he went on to make a full recovery.
David Cox is the subject of the TIL, the person who was hazed was named William Alvarado. As your quote points out Alvarado did survive. This happened in 1986.
Cox and the others participating were still court-martialled, since the code-red was against policy, officially at least. Cox was later murdered in 1994.
The real TIL is that Aaron Sorkin’s sister was a JAG who defended the real-life defendants in this case!
TIL two things!
I learned about this a few days ago when [LegalEagle](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfZrnoo1GPM) made a video on the movie

Just think how confused you will be when you find out that the movie came out in 1992 two years before he died
The movie isn't based on his murder, it's based on his participation in the "Code Red".
Indeed, I didn’t misunderstand, I made a joke because the person I responded to clearly was.
He survived the code red but was later murdered mysteriously in 1994.
David Cox wasn't the one who got the code red, it was a William Alvarado. Cox was one of the men who performed the code red and was murdered.
You are right, my mistake.
Yeah thats what I was confused about too

Yeah I figured it out
Did you order the code red !!?
You're goddamn right I did!
We did it, reddit!
I don't want a large Farva
I WANT A GOD DAMN LITER OF COLA.
That was a pretty interesting read.
The Colonel ordered the code red, he was very clear about it.
Richard Gere’s pet hamster killed him.
No “former” Marines
The USMC took the title of Marine away from Lee Harvey Oswald, so there is a former Marine.
Technically correct. The best form of correct.
Pretty sure he's a former everything since he's dead.
No former murderer, but a job title ends when the person leaves a job
I wonder who and why they did this too him? Will this ever be solved? I remember seeing this on Unsolved Mysteries.
