Yep, I'd have expected your first comment.

On your second sentence...This is common in military leadership and outside of the military also - people with egos, career aspirations or the need for the feeling of power leading others.

From a military perspective, it's more often found in regular services rather than special forces or SOF group, the latter promote thinkers and the mission is most important, not ego and power...although it still happens sometimes.

I'd rather one operator next to me that wants to be there, feels empowered, has the same focus and goals and is willing to show ownership and responsibility than ten operators that have to be pushed, cajoled and dominated over - The former will get things done, the latter will cause inefficiencies and more problems than they're worth.
