It's because "leadership" doesn't want their supervisor to come back on them because they want to make the next rank. I had it happen to me once on a deployment, but I stood my ground and took the peepee smack (STS). Funny how "leadership" didn't really care a week later. The guy was a douche who I didn't respect, and still don't to this day.
