    I thought this was obvious to everyone. Heck, Futurama had this as a joke 20 years ago when Zapp Brannigan stuffed his crew with nothing but loyalists who fall apart immediately.

      That was much more “chain of command is incompetent but we have no choice but to obey” rather than “blind loyalty”. Did you forget the episode where he was dishonorably discharged by the DOOP for blowing up the space station with the ribbon cutting laser? His second in command, Kiff, is literally constantly pointing out how stupid and incompetent Zapp is. Hell, even “I sent wave after wave of my own men against the killbots until their counter overflowed”, arguably the worst case of being a loyalist to Zapp, ended in a win for Earth. They didn’t fall apart and collapse - they defeated the unstoppable killbot army and got a medal(show them the medal Kiff).
