'You can't handle the truth' is wrong, nobody can be sure of the truth.
From that not being able to be sure, the truth includes a choice.
There are some that think they know the truth, and unfortunately some of them have bought into despair doctrines.
I don't think I will post the despair doctrines some believe, and the factors used to convince people of them, but basically they have the form of the supernatural in many factions that use people like armies, or pawns, for some purpose.
However if you look at the next level, teaching that doctrine has a purpose, to create despair and keep people fighting, so within not knowing, and nobody can, then you see that what some think is the truth, may be a way to get them to despair.
I could explain the doctrine, maybe a bit of it.
It is why some think that people that protest or go against wrong in a system actually belong to the other side faction in some game or contest.
So if you protest something that group thinks you are actually on the other side. That is why they think of protesters of injustice, injustice they think help them win the delusional game they think they are playing, are the same as the enemy. It is a delusion many suffer from.
Once you know you can not be 100% sure of what is 'the truth' you know you have to choose. In that, if the world was a computer game, or people were pawns or toys of supernatural, I would fight that system. why? becuase there is always a thin path that says that could be a delusion to create despair, and it is wrong.
"You can't handle the truth", is a claim to know the truth, and that is the delusion that breaks people, becuase then they let what they think is the truth define them, not a choice of what should be the truth of existence, and might be, since they can't know for sure.
If you think some despair doctrine is reality, that is your choice, but weather it is or not, I would choose to go against it if I can think and feel that such a doctrine is wrong.
And it is possible such doctrines are wrong, and are not what reality is.
And I am due beer and travel money, and many experiences.
In that movie, Jessup said people can not handle the truth, in reality he was saying, people can not handle what he thinks the truth is. The truth as he chooses to see the world. So he is really saying, people can not accept what he wants to think reality is, but can not defend as what reality really is, he can only guess and choose that as his reality. Then he defends it saying it is truth, so as to not have to think and feel on that topic.
(not posted becuase this being Easter Day, just posting since Spike TV edited a movie to remove the comment where Hal says to tell the truth)
