Do we have any idea why Palmer hates Halsey so much? Don't tell me that she's just following orders to kill Halsey. Palmer was antagonizing Halsey from the moment she arrived on Infinity. Palmer's actions recently deserve one hell of a lot of justification. Since the most recent story arc in Escalation began, Palmer has repeatedly put her troops in harms way for no good reason. Actions like these would normally see someone of her standing dishonorably discharged and/or stripped of rank.
