No, they probably don't have the same reasoning, but you don't know what their reasoning is. That's sort of the point, Mr. Estinien. None of us knows very much about each other. Making snap judgements based on our own worlds and their truths leads to conflicts that aren't necessary. Especially when we don't really know the people we're talking to or what they've been through. I know someone here who's seen what people in my world would consider unimaginable horrors. They've lived through being treated as nothing more than a science experiment, forced into doing something they didn't want to because they weren't allowed to have a voice. They've come out of all of that they're still trying to find their feet to be the best person that they can, in spite of it all. They don't talk about what's happened to them very much, they hide what's happened, so a lot of people wouldn't ever be able to guess at that.
I'm not suggesting they go without punishment, but I'm already providing that reprimand to them. They'll take it better coming from me, someone they trust, than you. Do you have a commander that you respect and admire? Would disappointing them feel like a punishment to you? Maybe even worse than if they'd just picked up a sword and cut you?
