I apologise, upon re-reading my post I did come across as a little harsh.

Absolutely true. From the POV of the PCs in my campaign they use rank structure as much as possible for their own ends, using it sometimes as a blunt instrument to get their way and at other times deliberately staying out of contact with their higher command to allow them to do as they will. The morality of Major Po in particular is (at best) highly suspect.

I guess another way to look at it is that in my campaign without adhering to rank structure the PC party would tear itself to pieces within days if not hours. There would almost certainly be shooting and explosions involved.
