yepper.......... in training a loooooooooooooong time ago one of the mantra's during said training wasNow in the Paras would be given orders for an attack but were always told if you spot an easier way of taking the objective then do it, but what ever happens you will take it. We were always allowed to think for our selfs and it was nicknamed Airborne Initiative.
A real soldier does´t hate war and he does´t love it. A real soldier has an attraction for war and the art of war. Try asking some of the other veterans here.A real soldier hates war but is good it, to protect his mates, family and country. They are the ultimate pacifist because they fight for peace and security.
Unwavering obedience? I certainly hope not!Gotta love prince Harry!
My take on this;
The army teaches unwavering obedience to officers, life so far tells me that seargents and corperals are where you really want to be getting direction from. If you are getting direct orders from an officer then you are probably already in the **** (especially if its navigation =)).
Respectfully I think thats why we have NCO's- to filter orders and take care of the mens wellbeing- a good soldier makes himself scarce when officers are around.
A good recruit picks a top corperal or seargent and models himself after that man. Thats how he becomes a soldier.
Maybe. But when I read your post it sounds as if the NCO's knows everything and the officers are imbecile fools. Or are you just sarcastic?
Freyja........ 2nd Lt's are the *privates* of the officer corps....... and as such they have very limited knowledge.... a *good* Lieutenant will listen to the advise of his Platoon Sgt and senior NCO's... that is how *they* learn.Maybe. But when I read your post it sounds as if the NCO's knows everything and the officers are imbecile fools. Or are you just sarcastic?
