I've managed people since I was 16 (admittedly in a work environment, not a military environment). I've found that if you treat subordinates like human beings, they work better. I mean I'd treat them like human beings even if it didn't make them work better, but it's a good arrangement. If I was responsible for any number of soldiers, I'd do my best to make sure that the mission was successful while simultaneously making sure that they weren't at undue risk. I don't want to lost 12 men simply because they didn't have adequate armor or because they were driving a truck that goes from 0-60 in 12 months.
