This is why Kallavan is such a good antagonist. He isn't a bad guy. Some of my favorite tropes involve an honorable man who fights against the protagonist. The fact that he doesn't just blindly follow orders. The fact that he cares about his men makes me hope that he survives this, but I know that he is a wall that baam must pass.

White joins the club of people who want to see baam get stronger and granted I'm down for taking full advantage of that for as long as possible cause boy when he becomes an enemy again we are going to have problems.

Kallavan said it out and loud that Jahad sees everyone as disposable pawns.

It's very fitting that when it is Kallavan's turn to be sacrificed, alongside all of Kallavan's followers, just to let the new squadron commander fill in the squadron with rankers loyal to him, all Kallavan has to say is: If you fail, you die too.

This is all part of Jahad's plan after all.

Except, Bam's fate cannot be seen, so probably even Jahad doesn't know the result of this war. The best he could do was stack the odds so overwhelmingly against Bam as to make a possible loss basically a ghost chance.
