Also there is a comment by Major Winters that this is a stupid rule, because Lipton is one of the best and most respected platoon leads in the company.

True, Winters indeed said that but the interesting question is why would the Army have such a policy in the first place (I assume that here as in other things BoB sticks to the realities of the time).

The new LT would have to continue to interact with SNCOs in the battalion who had outranked him, which might cause friction.

Emotional detachment? Military officers have to send their troops into harm's way.
