    I rewatched VOY “Jetrel” some days ago by coincidence and see some parallels (and - of course - differences) on the meta level.

    M’Benga and Neelix both in trouble with their conscience (for opposite reasons) - Rah/Jetrel both ignoring the borders of M’Benga/Neelix, behaving selfless but having selfish reasons.
    Wellmeaning Starfleet personnel that was not involved in the war pushing M’Benga/Neelix.
