Two of our guys go down close to me and I tell them not to give up, I'll res them but I just need time for the smoke.
When I get to the bodies they've bloody respawned!
I then tell them that it is grossly impolite to give up and most ungentlemanly particulary when I go to all the effort to revive them (somewhat at length).
My squad leader tells me to stop nagging, which I promptly do.
10 minutes later me and another guy are in a bunker where there is a ton of enemy assets inside including an enemy FOB which we start to destroy, an enemy blackhawk lands on the roof, my squad leader places an FOB and then tells us to build it.
My squad leader then goes down by the guy on the roof: "there's no one dropped off, come over here"

Me and the guy start slowly heading over (didn't know where the enemy was) and kill the guy who dropped out of the chopper with my squad leader getting more and more irate because we took longer than 30 seconds to get to him.
As I get to his body he tells us for the 5th time to get over there and I promptly tell him to stop nagging.
-you have been kicked from you squad-
I lol'd.
Then I went tanking with deviant and did more damage in 5 minutes than I did in an hour with that inf squad.
Lots of SL noobs just can't stand the stress and use their squad members as punching bag. In these times I so enjoy having a mic... lol
The funniest I remember about a SL is him blasting me on all chat because I took a engineer kit and went to mine and ied a supply road on iron bridge, which was pretty far from the flag, yet heavily used by the enemy.
By the time he was done crying and kicked me out of squad, I had killed 1 apc, 2 log trucks and a transport apc. And I wasn't done yet, Still had my ammo crates and was placing more mines.
Some SL's are too much power tripping to understand a useful maneuver, useful not only to the sq but to the entire team.
I know I have a good SL when I join the squad and he tells people not to worry about me, Im gonna "do my thang" lol, Which is basically interdiction of enemy traffic and securing a given strategic post. Doing this lets me supply the SL with vital information on enemy movements and equipment.
The funny thing is that those baby SL's start crying at you when they get killed most of the time, trying to put the blame on you for their failure.
A good SL does with what he has, not what he could get. Having 5 people in your firing squad is just as good as having 6, even better when the 6th guy is holding off 2-3 sqs by himself while you capture the point. Some people just really don't have a clue about military and guerrilla tactics yet want to play mr commander and tell everybody what to do instead of listening to their most experienced soldiers (like real SL's do)
Sometimes I love to obey a stupid order just to let the SL see what he's done, and hopefully learn from his mistake. But most of the time I just don't bother, I'd rather get the job done than been a good jarhead.
