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 don't think you should be so quick to criticize Michael. Yes hes and ass at times but he has to be in order to keep everyone protected. When things went to hell everybody decided that there had to be someone of authority in charge, they also decided the person in charge should be blamed if something goes wrong. Maybe he made a few bad decisions here and there, but if you look at the big picture you see that the civilians he was overlooking weren't so good either. They screwed some things up as well like letting the smart zombie in, not watching the supplies when things went bad and trying to revolt when the shit hit the fan. I just think you should look at the situation at both sides before you say he wasn't a good leader that only did what was best for the tower.
