Love all the shows that are like "you were in the military, you must know the importance of following orders"

It's like, dude, what the military taught me was how to GET AROUND orders that didn't make sense

I was in a paratrooper unit, so what the military taught me was that orders are for people and units who need that sort of thing to complete their mission. We didn’t really have orders as most civilians think of them; we had missions and capabilities. It’s hard to give orders to units whose whole job is to be dropped behind enemy lines with minimal support and equipment, who have to improvise to do anything, and who are often separated from any command structure.
