That's not Kati's problem, though. The problem lies in the fact the androids rule the military and have created a structure of power where simply belonging to a favored faction gives one the freedom to do whatever happens to please him/her. A-LAWs are that in relation to the regular military and some special individuals are that in relation to the A-LAWs. Such a thing is to be expected from an oligarchy or a dictatorship, which is definitely where the world is heading towards, whether the large audience knows it or not. Even more so when those in power probably don't care at all for individual lives.

Well, on the other hand Kati's team has their hands full even with the rest of the Gundams and the ship, and it's not like she or the other pilots couldn't seize an opportunity at any time, no matter what Graham was promised.

But it's true Graham has been downgraded in this second season.
