** Jackson is legitimately a good leader and soldier but the prevailing mentality among the higher ranks is the more the subordinates resoect you the more likely they are to mess up. Despite legitimately respecting Sergeant Jackson he never gets promoted and, like many in similar shoes around him, loses all morale slowly as the lack of acknowledgement is felt.
