That's a very interesting question that I hadn't considered.
I would assume that they wouldn't be removed, but I can't imagine a situation where a squad leader would be awesome without voicing his opinions to the community about what his squad wants. Do you have an example of where this might come up?
If you are doing a good job as a squad leader, you are one of the most valuable members in the community. Anything we do/change should be in the interest of helping squad leaders keep their guys happy.
