The captain had an open-and-shut case... if a sailor falls asleep on the job, he's guilty.
Why did you fall asleep on the job? Because I stayed up all night cleaning a dirty workspace.
Why did you stay up all night? Because the chief said I had to do it by 8 a.m.
Why, chief? Because the division officer told me it had to be done by then.
Why, officer? Because the captain told me so.
Not every order is perfect. Good leaders need to be approachable enough so that problematic orders can be safely explained.
