the job of the Commissar assigned a regiment of the Death Korps of Krieg is not to instill courage and fervor in the guardsmen, but rather to curb the worst of the guardsmen's excess in courage and fervor and prevent them from unnecessarily charging the enemy lines.

"Captain, I know you want to charge in and stab those Orks in the face with bayonets, but if you do that maybe one in ten is getting out of there alive. The Emperor needs you alive and we are going to goddamn wait until a situation comes where we can have enough survivors for the next battle and if you order a charge, it's blamming time for you."
Ahh, the Death Korps, the only army in 40k where Commissars have to carry out a summary execution not to punish cowardice and a lack of zeal but rather to curb a downright suicidal amount of courage and a disturbing excess of zeal. I flipping love the grim darkness of the 41st milennium!
You know, the thing I find most inaccurate lore-wise about this comic, isn't the fact that the Krieger is questioning orders of a superior, or the fact the Commissar wasn't immediately bayoneted for suggesting NOT Sacrificing in the name of the Big E, but simply the fact that Krieg-chan is a woman, because, of course, being all grimdark and gloomy, Women aren't sent to the front because, under the Cult of Sacrifice, since women are the only ones who can carry children to term, it is considered, "Wasteful" to put them in the line of fire, and instead expose themselves to the normal amounts of Life-threatening danger on Krieg.

"We charge today, the enemy fortification will still be there tomorrow, or the next day, or maybe even a century from now.
We charge tomorrow, when the rest of the reinforcements show up, the enemy will fall."
"but can I pleasepleaseplease be in the first wave?"
"Only if you're on your best behavior!"
