gd soldiers are invariably drooling idiots without exception who would almost immediately die out if left to their own devices without any supervision or intervention

From what people posted in previous OSHA threads, the military has its own OSHA-like entity that happens to be even more stringent.

You do have the legal prerogative to refuse to follow an unlawful order, which includes orders that present an unnecessary risk to personal safety. But your chain of command also has the prerogative to arbitrarily revoke anything and everything that contributes to your quality of life. So if you're an enlisted man you basically are at the mercy of every person above you in the chain who are more or less capable of loving you over as badly as they want, whenever they want, for any or no reason. It's possible that someone over them will intervene, but it's also possible they won't.

As an aside, why is it possible for car batteries to empty because someone left the lights on?

At a guess, I'd say people leaving lights on probably constitutes a large part of battery sales.
