"ArtKramr"
When ordered to take the bridge troops obeyed the commands of their
officers
instantly and obediently. No debates. No second opinions. Just immediate
action. It is how wars are won.

Art:
I have been following this discussion for sometime and think I should
jump in. Blind obedience of a direct command by an officer is sometimes NOT
the wisest choice! I site the event of March 16, 1968, the Mylai massacre!
Officers can be dead wrong at times! At the German War Crimes trials the
defence of saying, "I was ordered to do this", did not work.
