Well that is already how the military operates. Barking orders.

But in real life we don't really have 'subordinates'. Even an exec has to be careful with how they treat their assistant least they make a complaint to HR for harassment. And rightly so, businesses are not the military. We don't have this unconditional Yessir obedience. In fact I'm surprised the military still gets people willingly putting up with that.

I don't think this will carry over to human interaction in the real world. We don't talk to each other like we talk to Siri either.

This is really not how the military works.

People mistake depictions of boot camp for day to day operations.

(Which is to say, the military is a highly regimented organisation, but the idea that it's all about blind obedience is very much not the case)
