&gt; This is common among military-mindset types who scope out the problem they can&#x27;t process and then claim to have solved it. They are rightly trained to ignore what is &quot;above their pay grade.&quot;<p>I&#x27;m sorry, but you could not be more wrong. Even in the &quot;conventional&quot; Marine Corps infantry, we were not trained to ignore any problem. We were constantly being taught to take over the job of our superiors at a moment&#x27;s notice. All downtime was filled with adhoc classes to train the lowest grunt to operate at several levels above his pay grade.<p>If you think SOF or even Marines defer silently to officers, you only know what you have seen on TV. You are just completely off base here.
