Misuse of You Have Failed Me, Kick The Son Of A Bitch was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* KickTheSonOfABitch: The only soldier whom Thrawn is shown invoking YouHaveFailedMe on turns out to be something of a JerkAss who keeps invoking NeverMyFault. Had he been more honest and respectful, he likely would've kept his head (let alone his job).



* YouHaveFailedMe: Famously deconstructed, with Thrawn showing exactly why he does and doesn't invoke it: he has a tractor beam operator killed in the first book for letting Luke escape, but only because that man not only failed to display any initiative but tried to pass the blame off on his immediate superior, displaying both a lack of imagination and an unwillingness to take responsibility. In the third book a different tractor beam operator tries a different stratagem to catch Luke, one not in the manual. It fails and Luke escapes again - but Thrawn promotes the guy regardless for trying to think outside the box.
** There's also an argument that Thrawn's biggest failings are because of him ''not'' going for this trope when he should.
*** In "Outbound Flight" he pulls back his attack at the last second because Outbound flight is crippled and he wants to give them a chance to simply flee. Instead, a now-Dark Sider Jorus C'Baoth almost kills him, forcing Doriana to use radiation bombs to save Thrawn's life - killing everyone aboard and causing a far greater death toll than if Thrawn had simply hit C'Baoth's command centre again.
*** In the Thrawn Trilogy he doesn't invoke this trope on Joruus C'Baoth despite his clear madness and TheStarscream tendencies, Mara Jade despite trying to kill him after his betrayal, or Niles Ferrier despite his general incompetence. If he'd had each of them killed after they began to show traits damaging to him, Thrawn's position in the latter book would have been infinitely more secure, with no Smuggler's Alliance against him, no exposure of Mt. Tantiss and its cloning facilities and no C'Baoth almost taking advantage to create an army loyal only to him.

come up with no Smuggler's Alliance against him, no exposure of Mt. Tantiss and its cloning facilities and no C'Baoth almost taking advantage to create an army loyal only to him.a proper countermeasure.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Thrawn took advantage of Zaarin's fascination with the latest military technology by allowing him to steal a prototype capital ship equipped with a cloaking device, a project with Zaarin himself had helped get started. Thrawn had also altered research documentation to omit mentions of how initiating a hyperspace jump while the cloak was active would lead to catastrophic explosive malfunction, which is of course what Zaarin did.
