Lets look on this problem from different side. 101st is something like top faction of outcasts, is that right? High command we would say and i want to compare this to reality.
If bin laden (or any other terrorist) drops his AK and say i will work for you USA. Do you think that guy like this will be put into high command, that he will be senator or he will sit in pentagon? Still even if i read your story, this is point i dont get. Of course you can be useful for us, but still you wouldnt get so much power. This is really complicated, but i cant even image some enemy of USA or any other nation sitting parlament or something like that. People who come to other side are usally prisoners, just source of information, they cant go to enemy army and just say ill be your leader.
