the draft officer?
oh no no no
people don’t start getting the message until the “soldier deficit” reaches a couple of orders of magnitude: when “100+” are lost as a result of trying to impress “one”, that starts to cut bigly into the old warfighting effort and they start having to make some very uncomfortable choices
if the choice is presented as “these are not the droids you are looking for, and if you stop looking for them here, you can avoid much fanfare”, this becomes their default option, because by definition they have much bigger fish to fry and they can’t afford more losses (or anybody else getting ideas)
no, for a situation like that, the mandate is very simple: reach for the stars and try for the really, really high score
this is the Way
