Especially when it was a character that was the bad guy in the movie.
No different than quoting Shakespeare.
But, if you're discussing military values and ethics you might want to pick a character more apropos than a disgraced commander without any integrity.
Lastly, as a colonel Jessup wouldn't even be on the wall he claims we want and need him on. He would be clicks away in some climate controlled command post having one of his chogie boys delivering his coffee just the way he likes it, getting three hot meals a day, sleeping on clean sheets, and probably wearing starched uniforms.
