I think the concept, at least for discipline, is considerably easier than the practice. Particularly for those who find themselves under an authority figure who frequently gives bad commands. When does their objection arise because the authority figure is fallible, ignorant, evil, or otherwise wrong? When does their objection arise because they themselves are fallible, ignorant, evil, or otherwise wrong? How do we practically get along with someone whose commands are such that they frequently require objection? Particularly if he does not handle being objected to well?

Some of it is just being willing to suffer. But there's also no way to get around the logistical difficulty.
