That's what I was thinking. Or at least perceived cowardice. Definitions of cowardice may vary. To be honest I can't picture Kana as Kragar, or vice-versa. But that's purely by gut-feeling, I can't support with any evidence. :) I actually wonder if Kragar did something along the lines of "disobeyed orders to save his unit's lives", ending up in the position of being officially expelled, but unofficially thanked, as it were. :)
