Why did Reinhard keep this useless fuck around?

Why did Reinhard keep this useless fuck around?
Was it because of his redhead fetish?

didn't he save him in the end tho? He died 5 minutes later of a natural cause but still

Bittenfeld was the most based admiral of all.

He looks like a harmless moron until he charging at you. Reuenthal says something like that later on.

Because he could trust Bittenfeld.

They called him The Wild Boar for a reason. An idiot but will tear through near anyone you put in front of him.

High honor, high power, high loyalty, zero intelligence or wisdom.

Every great leader needs a great grunt

Because while sometimes you need tact and strategy to win, sometimes all you need is a fucking hammer. Case in point, that dumb space river bullshit. All the smart commanders tried to cross in a logical and safe manner, which let Bucock's fleet triangulate where they'd exit the river. But then along comes Bittenfeld, whose reckless suicidally-homicidal advance blind-sided the FPA. Also remember that him letting Yang escape at Amlitser was only half his fault: if Reinhard had just fucking calmed down and reinforced Bittenfeld's fleet, there wouldn't have been a weak spot for Yang to exploit.
