They listen to what you have to say.
They listen to the platoon chief.
They listen to the LPO, and they figure it out.
Except for this guy didn't really want to listen.
And so...
It ended up causing some friction in the platoon.
He, you know, was one of those guys where, again, he probably didn't realize how he was being perceived.
And he was being perceived as arrogant, being perceived as conceited, being perceived as not listening to the rest of the platoon, including the platoon chief, including the platoon LPO.
And he was dictating, you know, like, this is how we're going to do this, and this is the way it needs to be, and just wasn't listening.
So it's problematic, but you know, we're, what are you going to do?
Carry on.
Well, then we had a, we were at a desert warfare training and he presented some plan to us and it was a bad plan.
And the LPO had like had enough of it.
It was like, so this plan is stupid.
And you know, since the guy had a big ego, they got in each other's faces and then the OIC takes a swing at the LPO.
And we split them up, yeah.
Which, again, we've seen plenty of inter-platoon fights.
I mean, it's a thing.
It's almost like its own sport, right?
But when there's this much tension and negativity, it's a problem.
