It’s also dumb cuz they already did it with Bajor. Could have just had some flashback scenes were Star Fleet officers defect to aid the Bajorian guerrillas, and how the Federation deals with these guys after the war cuz on one had they did disobey orders and break the Prime Directive, but also now Bajor is an ally of the Federation against Cardassia and court marshalling guys who are now heroes in the Bajorians eyes probably ain’t a good idea.
