52. Hesgeth is worse, and he is supposedly in charge of the actual military.

These people have some pumped-up, Hollywood/video game idea of military service and war. Of course, it's also the vision that the media loves to promulgate. They have no concept of the difference between a soldier and a warrior, and think every one of the former should also be the latter. Yeah, there are actual military professionals who also spew the same bullshit, but most professionals must wince at such ignorant blowhards.
