The troops hate it of course, and I can’t imagine it’s a good idea to fluff the ranks of your military with people who lack military experience.

I mean it makes radicalizing baseline troops easier if they are putting paper tigers in charge and they send troops on fubar missions
First time as tragedy, second time as farce as usual.
miserable stormtroopers with incompetent leaders
Even TERF island figured out this was a bad idea by 1871
