I don't think so. Who the h*ll are you to try to micro manage this commander's decisions? Your posts seem to come from some bureaucrat in a cushy job far removed from the action, safely, and securely pontificating on this man's actions when he was faced with life and deaf decisions in regards to the troops he was commissioned to lead. Leadership in not being some autocrat. True leaders would commend this officer for his extraordinary effective efforts that prevented his troops from getting ambushed. If his superiors were true leaders, they would back him both implicitly and explicitly to show all the troops under their command they were going to be supported 100% in their efforts.
Wow. Expecting commissioned officers to obey long-standing orders is micromanagement?
Just out of curiousity...who the h*ll do you think you are to try to micromanage Lon Horiuchi's decisions at Ruby Ridge, or Janet Reno's decisions at Waco?

No, it's from the perspective of someone who has been one of those troops.

Leadership is holding your people accountable for their actions.

If they give him a pass on this...where does giving him a pass stop?
