Hahah! Again, I'm running sort of in between the two of you, as to whether-and-how the military process (and other processes as well) should be altered. I believe they should be altered, actually -- behaviors and expectations and procedures that worked reasonably well in regulating a series of planets populated by billions of people are going to be cumbersome and counterproductive when you're talking about fewer than 50,000 people crammed on a (dwindling) handful of spaceships. I think that Lee is right to question the status quo -- but I think that the way he approaches changing it is dangerously impulsive, for a man who wields a good deal of authority.
IMO, Adama and Roslin are working through change much more effectively. They're slower off the mark (and in fact are often goaded into change by Lee, much as Adama in particular would be reluctant to admit that), but they're better about testing and talking about it together and with others. They are more flexible about subsuming their own most dearly-held principles to what they see as the common good, and so their adaptations in the world order are less cataclysmic, and less feckless as well. (Though they have their moments too, don't they? :D)
