For all of Tani's whining over losing his command, let's not forget that his leadership wasn't always the hottest shit, either. Like ordering a soldier to go stand in a trap. Why? The enemy, unwilling to face the Noian army in an open field battle, instead set dead zones or traps all over the countryside. Having the Order of the Void find and remove them all takes time, and sometimes it forces the entire column to halt. The little guy complained about it a bit too loudly within Tani's earshot. So General McCommanderpants, who is smart, because he read a lot of actual books to prepare for the campaign, uses the opportunity for a little demonstration of what these traps do. Little guy is ordered to stand over there and report how he's doing. He goes from embarassed to nauseous to face down unresponsive in 15 minutes, then is dragged back out, and at the end of the day is only left with a bad hangover. No complaints about having to wait from anyone ever again. But that's some bad style right there, Tani! Oh, he did much worse things, but I've always liked that little scene.

(Also, a flashy colored horse is what you, as a rich douche, get in that world, because sports cars don't exist.)
