[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I think there's a difference between having to explain yourself and being responsible for your actions. The Office of the President is a position of authority; by nature the person in that position tells other people what to do from time to time. However, if a subordinate doesn't agree with whatever they've been told to do, the President is not [i]necessarily[/i] obligated to explain why they're giving that particular order. Of course, refusing to explain yourself too often will lead to frustration, doubt, and loss of trust. So it's something that reasonably isn't invoked very often, but it [i]is[/i] a reasonable argument. That's one of the things that I love about Adama's character; too often the lead character will question someone's decisions for the sake of drama and argument, but Adama, being a trained military commander, accepts Laura's verdict without argument once she's spoken. It's subtle, but important. He knows the principle of not needing to explain yourself... 'cause he never needs to explain himself to his own crew when he gives apparently strange orders. It all comes down to trust. [/QB][/QUOTE]
