Yes, I see where it's going. You mean... That a Colonel is held directly responsable for a private he didn't recruit into the military, didn't recruit to his unit, didn't personally train, and only met once or twice and knows more or less nothing about him other than the fact that the Private is in the military and takes orders from him?
Put 1200 men into a battalion and then 20k men into a division, and you don't think you won't have a handful of bad apples? You don't think one or two or ten will become criminals in the next year, or that one or two of them wouldn't sell out their country if offered enough cash?
