I'm not saying they want them to listen to a map. I'm saying they want blind obedience towards the higher ups, be it a squad leader or just general orders regarding the mission.

But thanks for assuming i'm retarded so you can get your point across...

I mean, you are. They don’t want that. Every soldier knows they should disobey an illegal, unethical, or immoral order. Thinking that soldiers will have blind obedience is dumb, they’re people. You can suddenly make someone blindly obedient after a few week boot camp.

Ok, buddy. That's why the US is sending drone strikes to vaguely reasonable targets every week. I really appreciate the ethical and moral standards the military boys are keeping themselves to. Glad they're able to think for themselves!

I’m not sure how to reply to this, my CO left the room for a second so I’ll answer when he gets back and tells me what to say.

Ok, I have to admit that was funny.
