I'm not sure I understood you correctly. Anyway, I was talking about
how the commander feels about giving commands. A command can be given
in a very happy mood. Or maybe in a sad or depressive mood. In any of
those ways, a commander with real authority trusts his command will be
obeyed; he is sure. It may not be given with arrogance, or pride, or
trying to give any kind of force to his words. Above all, a commander
must be self-confident.
