I agree when it comes to shit that matters...not crashing airplanes, hurting people etc...If I didn't give that impression, my error. That being said, there are situations where significant injury/death/destruction aren't involved where the solution set isn't binary...for non-dorks, where there isn't just a right way and a wrong way. In my experience most of the friction in wardrooms/disgruntled JO's at debrief time...decided that one of these issues was worth going to the mat about. They decided that "their" solution was the "right" solution and wouldn't quit fighting.
SA is king guys. Knowing that you are in a "shades of grey/multiple solution" problem and being willing to accept a solution you see as sub-optimal, says as much about your leadership/follower-ship as recognizing that you are in a black and white situation and refusing to be pushed out of the "right".
