Our current opponent does not recognize "lawful combatants" and will do whatever using whoever to kill Americans. One of the aspects of leadership is those you lead into battle must respect the leader and that their sacrifice is for the mission the greater good. Unfortunately much of our military leadership doesn't enjoy the respect because their actions are often more self serving than mission serving. In OTS we are taught that we can't issue orders merely for convenience, nor disobey an order because it's inconvenient. At my last duty station I watched an 0-7 (Brigadier General) issue an order contrary to an Air Staff order because it wasn't convenient for him to follow the order. Yes folks really wanted to follow him, and risk dying just so he can get another star. With out that trust and faith in the leadership our soldiers might tend to start acting in their own best interests. Don't get me wrong, the shooter was wrong but I have to lay some blame on the officers that were supposed to be leading him, obviously they didn't have a clue. I'm not saying they are criminal but probably don't belong in Military leadership positions after missing this time bomb.
