Which is what makes Crosshair an interesting character.

There are people in the world, and thus presumably the Star Wars Galaxy, that just want to make their way through their lives in a manner that they can comprehend and for him that means just being a 'Good Soldier' and doing what he's told.

We see that in the juxtaposition of the Bad Batch and Crosshair.

The Batch have to learn how to make their way through the Galaxy on their own. They've lived a lifetime of...'comfort' isnt strictly the right term, but their basic needs were provided for. They had meals provided, materiel, transport, basic supplies and logistics that they now have to come up with on their own and its a struggle for them, whereas Crosshair still operates under that umbrella.

I think its fairly evident that at some point this is going to come to a head for Crosshair. He will at some point have to cross his Rubicon.

Because while he just wants to be a Good Soldier and follow orders, he also routinely recognizes that those orders are often non-sensical and stupid. There will come a time where his conviction that 'He knows better' will come at the expense of just following orders.

Then we see whether he decides to re-join the Batch or strike out on his own or if he doubles down and starts looking to climb the Imperial ranks in order to be the one giving the orders rather than simply receiving them and blindly following them.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
