Allways good to hear from someone who knows what he’s talking about. A military veteran gives a real world account of leadership, and why Holdo did not display good leadership while in command:
I haven’t read the link - though think Holdo demonstrated good leadership in sacrificing herself to save the remaining Rebels in those unarmed ships being easily picked off by the First Order.
I don’t really need to read the views of a military veteran to understand or appreciate this - nor do I care for a military veteran’s reasons as to why she wasn’t a feminist (going on the url link) - or indeed why some think being a feminist matters in this context - but am sure it will come in handy for those that do. Nice one.
You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, seems an apt statement here.
I believe we should read something first before commenting on it, but anyways in response to your belief that she displayed good leadership, and the fact that you seem to believe uninformed opinion trumps actual combat and leadership experience relating to a combat situation, here goes:
Mate, it’s not a case of judging a book by it’s cover - it’s a case of no longer still being interested in the topic at hand (which to me has been done to death - and then repeated some more, and then dug up again too) - and also not being interested in the views linked in that article you posted upon reading it’s url link.
So hardly an uninformed opinion on this subject, no?
If this combat veteran believes it was poor leadership cool - I don’t. I also don’t read up other articles from combat veterans when they are unhappy with events from other films that I have no issue with either. Nor those that wish to discuss why someone wasn’t a feminist (going on the url link). Well in to those that do, if that’s their thing, though.
I don’t have the time or energy to read through every link on here - and am certainly not going to spend time on this subject which frankly… doesn’t interest me, and I don’t have a problem with.
My previous post stands as it is - and as I said in that post… fair play that your link may interest others. Nice one.
Yet, rather than conserving time and energy, and just taking a pass, you felt the need to make a statement. If you’re not interested, which is absolutely fine, why clutter up a thread with statements, that boil down to “I’m not interested”? If you’re not interested in discussing an article or a link, than don’t discuss it. It makes it so much more enjoyable for those that do, when you don’t have to wade through posts that say “I haven’t read it, and I don’t care to!”.
I am discussing the link, no? And I haven’t said “I haven’t read it, and I don’t care to!” either, yes?
I made a statement that being a military veteran doesn’t necessarily mean he knows what he’s talking about in the context of your ‘Holdo did not display good leadership while in command’ - in a sci-fi film - as a statement of fact.
I thought Holdo’s leadership was good - in the context of sacrificing herself to try and save the other Rebels.
And also that a military veteran’s reasons as to why she wasn’t a feminist, didn’t interest me enough to read the article.
Here it is…

I don’t see a problem with stating that. You seemingly do. That’s ok.
Feel free to carry this conversation on - though it may be impinging on the enjoyment of others, wading through posts like this, no? 😉
