I've seen worse. There were sometimes guidelines that stated a soldier had to perform one mission outside the FOB in order to get a bronze star. This creates a hazard because all the officers want their bronze star, so they would intentionally get placed on missions they weren't qualified for, in order to get the medal, sometimes displacing the qualified soldiers that should be on the mission.

Example - Helicopter recovery team. When a helicopter breaks down, you have a team specifically trained on how to rig the helicopter to be lifted out by a Chinook. So instead of sending the entire trained crew who does this all the time, they might replace the team or part of a team with some untrained female lieutenants so they can "earn their bronze star".

Great idea right? Results: Lt. Shaniqua and Lt. TikTokBoobs fuck up the rigging and cause millions of $ in damage to an attack helicopter. And of course, still get a bronze. Mission Accomplished. This is literally how the military of a country with drag queen story hour works.
