What's stopping him? Being his sister? That wouldn't stop me if she was my sister.

Something I think I picked up on watching G-Reco is that there's a further development of a topic broached in Turn-A where war seems to be treated like this definite thing you engage in but are simultaneously insulated from the effects of (treating it like a game). You usually see this in the leadership of the Capital Army and the Amerians and then the GIT unit.
There's kind of a blink and you miss it line by Bellri or someone else near the start when they're showing off the operations of the Capital Guard that goes something like 'just going into space is a matter of survival'. I'm probably mangling it but something you really get from Tomino shows is the weight and mechanics of movement/human clumsiness and that intersecting with the rigid objects and machines we surround ourselves with. People like to joke about characters being very clumsy in Tomino shows and maybe he just enjoys storyboarding people tripping but I think it works subtly to keep us grounding in the realm of physics. Where I'm going with this is that the simple operation of the Capital Guard and the operations of the Nuts and Crowns is absolutely critical to life on Earth, it's something taken for granted by many people in the show (and outright criticized by the Amerians. The operation requires a strict time table and usage of heavy tools and machinery by the Capital Guard, they take real pride in their work (note the silly little celebratory hype up the Capital Guard does that later gets brought back FIGHT ON FIGHT ON FIGHT ON)
But then you contrast that to the Capital Army which are getting off on playing soldier boy, getting to use new tools and gadgets as the tech gets iterated and improved upon (disclaimer I would love to use a Wuxia too, I wish I could get a kit of it). What they're doing is actively clashing with how the Space Elevator is meant to be operated and maintained, they take its existence for granted despite their actions imperiling it.

Then you have Colonel Cumpa, who instigates a lot of the conflict of the show being responsible for a lot of confusion death (and the technological advancement/intensification of the human relations that he seems to want). Towards the end of G-reco he lands on the Plateau with Bellri's mother and smacks his helmet on the canopy of the glider as he tries to get out, it's a funny little detail but I think it and when he eats shit eats shit when one of the GIT unit members tries to kill Bellri kicks the glider along the plateau, without even thinking about it, and crushes Cumpa and sends him hurtling off the Plateau. It's a pretty brutal death and I think the lack of regard for his safety (and others) is set up by that initial clumsiness, it's a funny part of being human but it becomes a grave concern when you're actually getting into the physical mechanics of piloting these insane machines. Cumpa looked at humanity in the abstract, and failed to see the little human realities right in front of him which he pays for with his life.
I think a lot of shit like this goes unexplained or uncommented on in the narrative because you're meant to put together the underlying themes together, of course it can be difficult to do that because G-Reco is such a fucking whirlwind. But I think I'll grow fonder of the show overtime. Now if only there were some reprints of the kits...
