1-I beleive a commander should have skill over the likeness of his troops. I beleive this because if you have skill in the battlefield then your troops will learn to like you and respect you at the same time. Also if the commander has skill hopefully he'll keep himself and his men alive to see another day. Winters in the movie is a good commander and his men respect him, unlike Sobel who was not any of those charecteristics.
2-Sobel's character shows that you need to be disciplined but you have to be smart at the same time too. It also shows that you need to listen to what your group has to say which Sobel didn't do, so character is everything.

1) I thing both are very important because you can't lead a army if you can't get along with them. But i think it is most important to be skilled at what your doing because your not going to tell them everything they want to here, and they will still respect your decision cause you are leader and they will follow you into war.
2) Sobel's character suggest that being a good leader means getting them ready to do what they need to do. Sobel's character of being a good leader should make the men trust you and listen to your decision because otherwise there will be know sympothy if they disobeyed.
3) preparing

1. I think that it is important for a commander to be equally liked by his men and skilled at what he is doing. If the men don't like their commander they may not want to follow him into battle and it may kill some of the men. The commander also has to be skilled at what he is doing or else he may kill all of his men. I don't think a commander can have one without the other.
2. To be in the military you have to be quick thinking and always be tough on your men. Sobel had one of the best groups of paratroopers that the military had ever had and he only accomplished this by training his men really hard. The only thing Sobel always did wrong was he tended to not always think things through before going on with his plan. That is why he got some of his company lost on a drill.
3. exhausting

1. To be skilled at what he is doing
2. Sobel’s character shows that you have to be able to gain respect before you can lead effectively in the military. However, Sobel was not able to gain the respect of his guys in an effective manner. This showed to be an extremely important element that was lacking in his leadership and their readiness.
3. Strenuous

1) Above all, it is important that a military commander be skilled at what he is doing because the lives of many men deppend upon what he is teaching. However, one can be a skilled leader and liked by his men at the same time. Take Winters for example, he is very intellegant and savy when it comes to his leadership skills. He leads in a way that is fair and his men respect him for that.
2)Sobel's character suggests that good leadership is simply getting your men ready and prepared. His character suggests that being a leader means that the men will submitt to your orders because of fear of what would happen if they don't.

1. The most important quality of a military commander is being liked by his men. Without the support of your men, your skill and intelligence is useless. You could be the most skilled commander in the world, but without the support of your men to follow commands, you will not be able to accomplish anything on the battle field.
2. Sobel's character suggests that being a good commander is not only about knowledge and physical ability, it is also about leadership. Without the quality of leadership you won't have the confidence in yourself or your men to do what needs to be done on the battlefield. Lack of leadership can quickly lead to hesitation of men to execute orders.
3. The word i would pick to describe this episode would be ironic.

1)Both,the commander needs to be liked by his men for the reason that he is leading them and in combat he doesnt want his men to not listen to him but he also needs to be skilled so he knows what to do and not get his men killed by making wrong choices.
2) Sobel's Character suggests that you need to be liked by your men, you dont have to be there best friends just don't try and be hated because there will be a mutiny or something along those lines.
3) Beginning

1. Both are important, but I think being skilled is more important. If you are skilled your men may also like you. Even if they hate you they will respect you decisions and follow you into war.
2. That leadership is very important and if they don't respect your leadership the they might betray you like the NCO's did to Sobel.

1. It is a mixture you cant go and say you want a military commander that just gets along with his men or say you just want a guy that is very skilled at what he does. You want a commander that is both skilled at what he is doing but cares enough about his men and make good decisions that will keep his men alive.
2. Sobel tried to hard, I didnt like him he tried to make everyone else look bad while he looked good to higher ranks. To the higher ranks he was looked down upon a good leader, to the men he was just looked down upon.
3. up-and-coming

1)I think it is more important for a military leader to be liked by his men. I think this because if your men don't like you they will not be willing to follow you into battle and will not listen to you.
2)Sobel's character suggest that you need to be a good military leader and be able to be clam in battle. Also it shows that you need to be liked by your men because in the episode most of his men would not follow him into battle

1- In a way its important for both but it is more important for the military commander to be skilled at what he is doing, because when the squad gets into combat they are not going to want to follow a commander that will get them all killed.
2- Sobel's character shows that its vital to have good leadership in the military in order to have any success on the battlefield.
3- Harsh
