Here's the background. You're a senior E5. Your troops are in formation and you're handing out work for the day. You hand out an assignment to a fresh E2 with less than a year in and only a few months at your command. They blatantly complain and tell you to choose someone else. You calmly tell them they will do this task and they tell you to shove it and give it to someone else. How do you react?

Time to stop babying these millennials and knock them on the fricking asses. If i had disrespected my superior back in my time, my ass would be wondering "how come i'm on the floor".

It happened once to me as a PO3, some AR appeared dubious about an instruction. I just said stand fast after dismisiing the work detail. Left him standing there untill all work had finished (good three hours, more or less). Then asked him if he would like to do what was asked of him or if he wanted to stay there overnight and see the skipper on the morning. He did his job, never again, he was cured...

Someone failed to "educate" this young cruit. Back in the day, no one questioned, or refused an order. FIrst off, at the first words of refusal in front of others, they would get dressed down in front of those that are present, to insure that all knows who is on charge, and all know the consequences of insubordination in the open, if the insubordination occurs in private, then perhaps a private talk is in order, but still, the e2 still needs to know in uncertain terms that this is not acceptable.
