from a personal point of view, not losing your job is a pretty big benefit. But if you are looking strictly from an ecological viewpoint, just because they couldn’t make a change on /this/ order doesn’t mean they cant do anything with future orders. It’s not a black or white issue. This order may have left very little wiggle room,but the next orders might just say an end goal, and may be able to manipulated in a way to downscale the effectiveness of the order while still obtaining the same result. If they are no longer in that position, that potential is no longer present.
This is like saying “That soldier followed orders and killed a non-combatant, so might as well replace him with a person who loves killing non-combatants.”
The problem is that they aren’t doing ANY push back. Nobody is slowing them down, nobody is trying to direct things through the appropriate channels, it’s simply bending the knee and licking the boot, often before anything is even asked.
Right now, they’re killing the same number of non-combatants as the person who loves killing non-combatants.
