Or maybe the leadership level is as high (or low) as it
is because the Plt Ldr is at his skill level _and_ there's
a Plt Sgt (of whatever level) behind him.  If the Plt Ldr
goes down, then your Plt suffers as all the leaders go 
shufflin' 'round and you wind up short a leader with a 
Plt Sgt who's not able to concentrate on the troops (like
he usually does) but has to concentrate on the mission
objective.

Sorry, as a junior officer I just had to stand up for all
of the LT's out there ...
