Asked to be demoted instead of using his position to change policy or to tweak details to the advantage of the situation?

🗞️Valery Markus, Chief Master Sergeant of Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade, has asked to be demoted to a lower position.
He says he disagreed with decisions made regarding the deployment and development of 47th Brigade and there is incompetence of the officer corps. pic.twitter.com/Sh3d2Au1QP

I would so love to know the details behind this. You don't have to agree with an order but you can surely tweak it on the battlefield to the best advantage for you and your men. Intent is the deal. Getting it done alows wiggle room (or it did...don't know how the new Corps works). I'd love to know more about this.
