But that one incident that he said was half conscious, he did start becoming a little bit more defiant. So I call that quiet defiance where you're not actively saying no to someone else, but you're not going against what you think is the right thing to do.

Right. And so later on, then he became less quietly defiant. There was another nighttime mission that he thought was way unsafe. It involved going out at the nighttime with goggles very close to a cliff edge. And he went to see his superior and he just said, I don't think we should do this. It's far too dangerous. And his superior was just like, shut up. Do as I say. Are you disobeying me?

He's like, no, but I'm adamantly against the idea. And of course, the mission went ahead. People came back after half an hour. It didn't work out. It was too unsafe. But he wasn't rewarded for that. He was basically punished. He didn't get his promotion, but he said it was the right thing to do. And he became a little bit more comfortable with sort of saying those things.

But yes, in the military, I hear time and time again from my students that have been there, it's yes, yes, yes. And one of them said, you are trained to do, not to think.

Yeah. So in war, that type of compliance is very helpful on the battlefield, for sure.

Yeah, I think there's many situations where it is complicated. That's why we struggle with it, too. If it was that simple, then we would get it right every single time. And we don't.

I think that's definitely worth it. I'm with you.
