*Looks out a window*
My father taught me as a child that those above you held authority that you could not bypass. That to ignore the orders of your superior is the equivalent of rebelling against yourself, as you cannot see the entirety of the battle; you can only see that which is directly in front of you. I've seen soldiers killed due to orders, and I have sent soldiers to be killed. When enlisted into my army or any other, they know that their lives belong to the commanding officer. I've sent squads, fully knowing that not a single man would return alive, in order to cripple the enemy and save many more lives of my own soldiers. If one of them had the urge to rebel against my commands, he would be terminated on the spot, because it would ruin the entirety of the operation. Lives are saved, and lives are spent, but it all depends on following the orders of one man, of one superior; disobeying isn't an option in my army, and any other successful one. If a soldier believes he knows a more advantageous path that his superior does not, he is to follow orders, even if it costs him his life. For what good is a pawn that disobeys, and does not move forward, when that action may save a rook? That responsibility falls on the general, to know every possible route, and to weigh the outcomes; this is why a command position is not a simple alternative to a foot soldier. He must make decisions that will be most beneficial to the whole, and each and every life weighs upon his shoulders. So the soldier who sees a path he prefers must trust the general knows of this path, and has rejected it for a reason, and that his own view is limited. The general must command each and every squad, and those very squads must obey, no matter the consequences.
