^anon, but it increases value of a certain person that leads a squad. You lose the SL, your soldier "morale" breaks and you can't spawn on him. Man, soo many BC noobs now, you didn't have a chance to enjoy BF2/2142 properly...

^PFC, again, they didn't bring SL for nothing, they have 4 months to suddenly add commander.
