There are dumb questions. And if you went to ask, you might have the situation explained to you, or you'll just be told "you'll do it because I told you to do it, now get the hell out of here." And that's only when you have time to question an order.

Yes, officers are supposed to know what they're doing. But they know better than I do--they've had more training, they've had more experience, and they've been in longer. Plus, they're the ones that go to the briefings and such and find out the exact situation. So, for the most part, I have no place to question their orders. Hell, if it's a lawful order and time is of the essence, I could get punished for hesitation to question the order.
