The Resistance isn't a formal military, though - it's much looser, and people like Finn and Rey can apparently just show up and join the fight. It seems to be held together not through patriotism or a formal chain of command so much as personal loyalty to people like Leia.

And even in a formal military, if morale's hit such a rock bottom that people are trying to desert, you need to do something more to reassure them than Holdo was doing.

Plus, in the original films, we saw briefings where fairly low-ranking people were able to speak up and question the plan - "What good are snub fighters going to do against that?", "Two ships against a star destroyer?!" - so it feels very weird to have the Resistance's leaders acting more like a cliche martinet instead of assuaging people's concerns.

Yup. People expressed opinions, but then they followed orders. Poe just decided he knew better than everyone else and decided to throw wave after wave of his own men at the killbots until they until they shut down.

Actually, that's giving him too much credit. Zapp Brannigan's plan worked. The blood on Poe's hands was all for nothing in the end.

That's not what happened in the movie

I mean, it doesn't even resemble what happened in the movie.

Seriously, how many drugs do I need to take to see the version of the movie you watched where Poe's awesome decision-making skills led to great gains for the Resistance and no one died? In the version I watched, he pretty much sucked hardcore at his job, wiped out his squadron and inadvertently sabotaged the plans that would have gotten everyone else out mostly alive, and it's almost entirely down to his being a reckless, arrogant idiot who wanted to pull off the last minute big damn hero save instead of paying attention to the long game. Your version sounds better, honestly.

Yep. Everyone in Star Wars always follows orders. That's why Luke used his targeting computer on the Death Star and why Jyn stayed home instead of going to steal the Death Star plans.

Oh yeah, how could I forget that Luke decided to talk the rest of the squadron into abandoning the mission and launching a kamikaze attack on the Imperial Center instead?
