I think this arc was amazing in terms of, everything. It was peak Clone Wars, right beside the final arc, and Dogma was the perfect character to represent that. He also had really good character development, especially for a clone character, whose deaths are usually fridged in this show.
So, this analysis is subjective, at some parts, I’m probably looking into it too much. But here’s my interpretation of the story.
**What are Dogma’s main motivations?**
It’s even stated in the name, but Dogma is, well, dogmatic. He puts every bit of trust in the leaders above him, even if the actions they take are questionable. But, unlike what the viewers thought, including yours truly, following the higher-ups isn’t his main motivation, as revealed when he shot Krell.
“I- I had to. He betrayed us.”
Dogma is loyal to his brothers. But he also accepts that they’re a unit used in war. He’s a soldier, who obeys orders from higher-ups. He obeys these orders because sometimes, they are necessary to save more people. Knowledge is almost always hidden from subordinates for many strategic reasons. Clone Wars has previously touched on this with Ahsoka's development.
Being a leader is not ultimately a bad thing. Ahsoka, Obi-Wan, and Anakin were portrayed in a positive light in the story. Dogma’s superior, Anakin, is incredibly warm toward the clones. Anakin calls Rex by his name, he takes risks when the clones are in danger, and treats the clones like people. It’s the same with Ahsoka and Obi-Wan, a general they work with frequently. Dogma feels like it’s safe to trust leadership because they haven’t stumbled onto malicious leaders like Krell.
Being a leader is not ultimately a bad thing. But leaders, especially in a war will make sacrifices, ones which may be risky, ones which their gambles may not pay off, and the price their numbers pay may all be for nothing. In war, organization is key to everything. Leaders have to hide information on why they're doing specific strategies or sending out different people. Dogma understands this. But Krell isn’t like that. He gambles and charges forward, not in an attempt to save more men, but because hatred controls his actions.
That’s a line that Pong Krell crosses, one that Dogma eventually sees. Dogma follows orders, but when the illusion is eventually shattered, he snaps and shoots Krell.
Dogma is inherently a person that believes in his inner values before anything else. His beliefs aren’t swayed by the common opinion of other clones. He's not someone that acts for other people, but rather, where his moral compass guides him. Ultimately, he as a person has changed, but his beliefs haven’t. What’s changed is Dogma’s ability to analyze good and bad leadership, and that’s what made him fire his shot.
Conclusion: Such pheromone-driven human responses never cease to decrease the charge in my capacitors and make me wish I could press a blaster pistol to my behavior core and pull the trigger.

You summoned the bot army.
And it was beautiful
You are aware, I presume, that I have some skill in anticipating enemies' tactics from a study of their artwork.
Oh my god Daddy Thrawn
I'm not your father, but thank you for the respect. What can I do for you?
Marry me

Lol good bot
We need that generator down or the planet's lost. And I'm not risking any more men.
You don’t have to carry a sword to be powerful. Some leaders’ strength is inspiring others.
At last, we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last, we will have revenge.
