In the right army there are no really inferior ranks. All parts are equal, except that somebody has to centralize the direction; these people are not really superiors, except in a logical manner of representation. The truth and fact about anything is understood by anyone, in natural conditions. However ignorant, anyone understands the normal state of facts, any facts, provided they don't have a flaw in their intellect or basic education.

An unethical direction in armies and corruption must both be masked from the troops' eyes, to keep from leveling the field back to a fair state. Then a perpetual lie about everything and brainwashing with a recursive "higher" truth is instated. Only the leaders and their accomplice task force know the truth and the arbitrary "truth" instated.

The unethical, corrupted army has aberrant inferiors. Anyone should know the General truth, and they know it. It's the "higher" truths, that are unknowable in themselves, being aberrant lies, that blindfold and continuously subject the subordinates to mutual violence. So the armies clean themselves of truth by "Initiation" and everything seems wrong to everybody, except the new bits of slice from above, that slowly rebuild the puzzle while giving extra insight and position. But that will never happen. It's calculated that you'll be out of the game by the time you reach half of it. The ones starting where you end have the same fate. And a number of waves protect the leaders and the accomplice task force.

All this bullshit is in order to protect an arbitrary decision of direction, that's a few degrees different of the right one. Everything that's wrong is in order to protect the small truth that some assholes don't know how to tie in or out some problematic knot of a higher order that they inherited. And while it's simple, they don't solve it, but you fuck your buddies and immediately inferior dudes. That's how it goes since before the earth was flat about the x'th time in Earth's civilization history.

Higher order fact -> Problem -> Deflection -> Thin your own herd -> The herd thinning itself -> Fight another herd.

The economy of the fact is that there is all in all a very small difference from making the bad decisions and dooming all the world to making the right ones and dis-having all that world of senseless pain and misery that all the ranks bring to themselves.
