      That is why this step is so important. Leadership is nearly everything in the military. Removing ethical leadership it makes it very hard for decisions to be challenged. This is the start, in 2 years when this is down the command chain you’d need thousands of officers to disobey orders at the same time and be filling to physically attack and defend from officers who don’t.
