Thank you - apology accepted.
As I explained to Micheal, I guess sometimes passion in what I believe in does get the better of me - in prose only, I assure you. I have the utmost respect for the chain of command, supervisors and the CF. I command respect from those who serve under me and earn respect from those I serve. But when I feel cornered - yes, the BB lawyer does come out.
One thing (and it would seem that we will have to agree to disagree here) is that while I agree with you on the fact that you or I don't have a RIGHT to disobey a direct order, we still have the choice not to. By making that choice, we are also choosing the consequences that come with it. Years and years ago just outside of Eaganville to be exact, I was directly ordered to jump back into my ML and continue the road move - yeah, the CO knew I had been awake for roughly 4 days, but it was an order, right? My point here is that if I blindly trusted every order without question, i'd still be driving MLVW's around Petawawa.
I very rarely question orders (never out loud) but when I do - you can bet there will be a very strong reason for it.
Thanks again for the apology and please accept mine (for posts I may have made prior to reading this last one... : ) You are right - I could have started the post off a bit better... I blame it on Uncle Larry...
