That is a very interesting observation and one that has haunted me before every assignment I have ever taken. I have found that there has been a general distrust of officers by troops throughout my career that your first hurdle has been to gain the trust of the troops because of the abuses of position and power by predecessors. This probably should be a SOF leadership imperative in every officer entry program. Just my opinion based on limited experience.
