I pee Marine?

My owner was saying the other night that its a prime example of poor or no leadership.

Did he mean that poor attitudes will go down the levels? Or that these (and a host of other things) will happen from time to time, if the leaders do not keep a short leash on their troops?

I think in either case it sounds right, but then begs the question why the leaders have this attitude? Or is it simply that they are not good enough?

He certainly doesn't condone their behavior despite understanding it. He did say that if their commander was better they wouldn't have done what they did short leash or not and that the ultimate responsibility for their actions rests at his feet.
