You’re all acting as if his limb difference makes him incapable of functioning in any meaningful way on the “front lines.” This is the exact opposite intent of cg when creating the character. The point of the character is he is still capable of being a valuable fighter despite missing a finger and presumably, though not stated, having a weaker right arm.
I assume your statement is based on years of your own years of military experience and multiple deployments right? Because if it's not, believe me, you won't won't win that. This winter I'll have spent 38 months deployed. No, having a weaker arm you can't be a part of any military team, same problem I have with echo, because guess what, when someone goes down, if you can't carry them, you're worse than useless. It is never acceptable to be the weakest link in any military capacity. If he's a rebel fighter and a captain, it means he got given that rank, goes back to my initial post. He could never have possibly earned it through military operations doing a combattant job.

Oh, and lest I forget to also add: I %1,000 want Nien Nunb and of course would have preferred them to a newly-minted character.

Yes. In the real world I’d assume you’re correct. I won’t pretend I know squat about military conflict. But this isn’t the real world. In this universe military engagements include fighting alongside ~3’ tall bears. In this universe a blaster shot can be stopped in mid-flight. I think trying to apply real world logic makes everything go to crap.
Clones were bread as super soldiers for no reason because according to you it doesn't matter?

it’s a good thing Drogan is a fictional character or else he’d be in tears over how much bullying people are doing to him for being different
Players mostly answer: "we already respect differences, the problem is you could have chosen hundreds of characters from the lore and instead you invented a new one".

It's almost like the rebellion isn't some state sanctioned military with nearly limitless resources where it can turn away people for any reason, but is instead a fledgling operation, desperate for people willing to help and welcome to everyone. And, when given a chance, a person with a congenital difference was able to participate and offer meaningful contributions to the cause.
if he is such an expert tactician, why would he be risked on the front lines, especially with a weaker arm. he should be, like i said, working an equally important job in the customer service area of home one.
