Either or not you dismiss the study, I've had personal experiences and beyond being a security risk they're imperial stormtroopers who signed up to kill, incentive or not. I'd have more respect for someone joining the foreign legion than the U.S military. Or joining a volunteer organization that actually benefits people instead of killing for the Empire.

You can have your doubts, opinions, etc. In the same regard, don't be surprised if people, like my friend who lost family in Lebanon, have reason to hate the Empire and their dogs.
