I liked Holdo a lot. I like Poe a lot. I think both of them behaved in ways that were understandable, if not ideal. But I think the point you're making here is a very salient point that a lot of people seem determine to dismiss in this situation.

I don't like chain of command bullshit. I just don't. I don't even like it in real life. I would flunk out of the military in a hot nanosecond because any time in my life I've heard "because I said so" I've taken it as a good reason to ignore that person. BUT. The bottom line is that for people who are in a military environment - who have a duty and who have agreed to work within a command structure - that command structure has to be respected. Which means doing what you're told by your superiors, regardless of whether or not you understand and believe in the plan.

Knowing what we know about Poe, should Holdo have been less rigid and just told him what was up? Yes. But as a military superior who knew him as a skilled but insubordinate asset, not telling him was also a professionally reasonable call to make.
