I take great offence to these comments. To quote an intelligent, informed and brave training NCO I once had, "Sort Yourself Out."

Sorry to offend Ben - but go up to your general and tell him you want to make the choices because you see the big picture. See what happens.
As for your NCO I believe he meant ,Sort Yourself Out as to join in with the group, not go find yourself and let him know what changes you want. Do you think it is a coincidence that all your comrades basically think like you do?
We are all cogs in a way, be it in a cubical where we take orders or in a trench.
Don't take it personally -it just is how our leadership system works.
If you are not on the very top - you are a cog.
Could you really imagine a military working where every soldier got to vote on every action because they understood what was best?
Could you see a business working like that?
