True, as was said to me during one of my interviews at the recruiting centre:Also keep in mind that when something goes physically wrong at the soldier‘s level, a lot of the times the ultimate responsibility/fault is delegated to the officer even if s/he doesn‘t have a direct hand in it -- it becomes his fault because he is supposed to have a handle on it -- which sometimes isn‘t easy since I doubt any of us can be omnipresent, and delegation of responsibility isn‘t perfect. And like it or not, crap happens out of the blue sometimes.
"You can delegate your authority but never your
responsibility"
