Depends greatly. Armies work by cooperation. Everyones does what they are told and when they need to do it.
That insubordinate asshole, that won't pull his weight, do his guard duty, build the fighting positions. He is just a liability.
Liabilities get other guys, good guys killed.
If your CO pulled his M9 and shot that ass on the spot. He might well be cheered.
I can bet a good number of "accidentals, other than Combat" deaths are the Lowers getting rid of guys that fuck them over.
In-subordinates are a liability and only other insubordinate and malcontents can't seem to get it.
