A twig in front of a sharpshooter protects him but he shot through heavy brush to kill you. Sharpshooters are a mix of powder burners and five year old kids. And those happened simply because they where to exhausted to continue fighting. I have not seen all the sharpshooters in action so this is a somewhat biased opinion. Politicians are only concerned about getting themselves elected to a point of power next season.
Politicians cause more harm than any of the types of soldiers listed above.
Bad politics could cause a company to split, slow down, or stagnate. If you are willing to do this to you re pards you shouldn t be running for the stripes. The mislead soldiers are formed usually formed when a soldier changes from a farb group to a middle of the road group and so on. Mislead soldiers go through a stage of denial. They can not believe what there seeing is authentic.
