Who promoted Major Marvy?

Penny Padgett pleads for the defense:

> What did Major Marvy do that was so bad? 

I dunno, I always thought that trying really hard to kill Rocketman was a castratable 
offense. and yes there is a--visceral--thrill to seeing a bad guy so wickedly punished.  
Beyond that I guess I always figured he was one of those killers of innocence, 
dreams, ideals, fictions, art, grace etc.--all somehow wrapped up in the image of der 
racketmensch--but your question does provoke further thought.
