I think you missed my point. I ment that Straker wouldn't be the one cleaning up after someone else unless the guy wasn't around to do it (Bought the farm, perhaps?)
I can see him standing over someone and just waiting for the person to make a "Mistake" in the way he was doing his job. Your example of poor Ford is a good one since you can just see him waiting to "Pounce" on him. It's a wonder that Ford doesn't cringe every time he goes by (Anyone for Mommie Dearest? I wonder if they would sue Straker now for mental and physical abuse as well as creating a hostile work envirnoment,)

Straker didn't wait for someone else to accompany Craig Collins, he did it
himself. True, delaying it was dangerous, but he still went (blinded as usual to
all the hints Grey was throwing his way about Collins). But judging from the
way he stands over poor befuddled Keith Ford (who has one of those hangdog
sad faces) he does make sure someone else does the job right. I personally think
it's from him once being a green airman who didn't know his left hand from
the right, and is now taking pleasure in doing to his people what his drill
instructor did to him
Can you imagine the coffee break vent sessions Ford has with Freeman? 'Can't
you talk to him, Colonel?' "Sure but it wouldn't do any good, you know the
Commander.'
Any personal dents the Commander would deliver would be to the hapless
pilot's head..
