I love it but some things bug me

First of all, for full disclosure? I love this movie! Which is why I have now watched it a few dozen times. And in doing so I'm finding myself picking it apart.
1) why would the NIS agent send a copy of the letter to Col. Jessup? Bad idea. Not a good way to investigate.
2) why would Kendrick tell the platoon that Santiago Ratted and then tell them not to touch him. Why not just keep it secret? "Word of this is bound to get out" not really. except that Kendrick actually told everybody directly
3) Lt. Cdr. Galloway is so passionate and even melodramatic about tiny cases within the law but when it comes to sexual harassment (even in 1992) she didn't even mention it to Kaffey let alone pursue it legally.
4) Is Kevin Pollack (Lt. Weinberg) the worst actor ever? The character is lame and the acting is more lame.
5) Why wasn't Cuba Gooding jrs character questioned about codes red by Kaffee?
6) why did Downey testify but not Dawson?
7) why didn't Kaffee ever mention that Dawson is the one who called the ambulance?
8) (not just the movie) but why is it ok to "smear" an enlisted man but not a senior officer?
9) Markinson says to Santiago's parents "he has done what he can to bring the truth to light". How about some details?!!

Again, having said all this, I love the movie and I wish there was a sequel. (JAG wasn't too bad as a follow up)
