A kangaroo court is an unofficial court, the judge is not a real judge, and the jury is not legally chosen. The only sentence given by a kangaroo court is a death sentence!!!

A kangaroo court or kangaroo trial, sometimes likened to a drumhead court-martial or Drumhead trial, is a sham legal proceeding or court. Kangaroo courts are judicial proceedings that deny due process in the name of expediency. The outcome of such a trial is essentially made in advance, usually for the purpose of providing a conviction, either by going through the motions of manipulated procedure or by allowing no defense at all.

I think your Dad is having a joke with you!
A kangaroo court is a court where the judgement is fixed and arguments are not listened to. Basically a con! It is not specifically to do with the military at all.
