    Wink my vote- Yes, better than losing

    The main reason is the human material that could become the strategic corporal doesn't want to work the 1st SGT, SGM, CSM or CPT whose focus is on conforming to mindless uniformity and regulations. We have to develop senior leaders in the Officer and NCO ranks first that can groom strategic corporals.
    SSG is the peak of an NCOs career; the survival of the fit. Progressing further past this rank, they get senile and it becomes survival of the stubborn. By CSM, they get alzimers and become crazy.

    This also goes for CPTs. Upon making Maj. a frontal labotomy is performed. They may recover at a later rank but are never the same.

    "Leaders" get jealous and resentful when a young stud takes the initiative on the battlefield without permission. Peers will also do anything to undercut the competition. Retrobution is exacted indirectly through administrative errors(ie losing awards/promotion paperwork, filing paperwork late, lying about it, ect) Peers can undermine the reputation of a leader by subverting their subordinates.
