Hollo,
I would actually have to say that Managers are asses and leaders can have asslike tendencies. Mike has tendencies heightened by the situation. You can see that because people follow him.
Leaders are always charismatic in one way or another. Leaders also can fall and rise. Mike fell because he has quilt over the party.
Sure, it was a very stupid thing to do, but he made a decision and stuck with it. That's what leaders do as well. If it was a crappy choice, you take responsibilty and move on. In the case of war (which this is) bad choices can and will get you replaced.
I do think KC and crew should change Shirley's sound. It needs more BOOOM! I've only been around Glock 21's and they're loud as hell, so I can imagine what a .50 sounds like. You most def know when a large caliber gun is fired.
anyway, i'm getting off topic.

1. Burt's stuff: They NEED to get back there. They're badly outnumbered and outgunned.
Sending just Angel and Kalani to get the MRE's wasn't a smart move. They need at least one extra person for overwatch.

2. Michael is impulsive

3. Lizzy and Riley seem to have the coolest heads on their shoulders.

4. Skittles at one point actually sounded pissed that Angel and Kalani were talking about him while he was right there. I noticed his voice got deeper and more confident.
