But that’s to fall for the old canard that armed services are all about “teams”. They’re not: they’re about exceptionally clear lines of command with no dispute as to who leads - like actually LEADS - any particular group of people, coupled with DISCIPLINE (to ensure that everyone pulls their weight) and TRUST (to ensure that the underlings at each level know that they will not be meaninglessly screwed around).

That not the same as most “teams” I have worked with/against.

Men work in hierarchies, not teams.

Sadly that’s me, however, I always have me little revenges. Just like Ensign Pulver I once slowly killed a boss mans potted palm. A lethal dilution of waste of cold-type developer. It was soooooo soooo sloooooow.
