Well, so much for my theory that it's a cultural difference.
Yup, there are a lot of people who believe that leaders need to be authoritarian and aloof, or people won't follow them. That might even work for some folks, but within my experience, those folks are only theoretical; I've never met them. I've found that people follow leaders they know and trust; and people do not trust those who do not treat them with respect.
Hey, when it comes down to country boys looking for fun, what really matters is whether a fighting ship is ready and able to fight. If so, then no harm, no foul.
