I think Kye-Sook and Joo-Doh will soon realise that putting Hak in command of a squadron in the front lines will have been a mistake.
After they defeat Ying Kuel-bo (and we all know they will, right?), Hak will have risen to the status of a War God to the Fire Tribe, and his reputation will even spread among the Sky Tribe. He even made a motivational speech.
He and Yona are slowly rising above Soo-Won and his cronies. Keep at it.
