Traitors in the ranks are never fun to clean up.
And the ringleader of the traitors in this case is high ranking, respected beyond reproach by both his peers and his own men, and had 15 years to lay his plans and weave a vast web of conspirators and patsies throughout the ranks.
Once the war started, there was no easy way to stop it, and the only people who held all the pieces of the puzzle where either traitors, died soon after figuring it out, or where in no position to put what they knew to effective use.
Its also worth remembering that what may seem irrational to us, can be perfectly rational (and unavoidable) to someone else; its easy to forget that as part of the audience we are privy to information that many of the characters are completely in the dark about.
Funny thing, from what I've seen so far this is exactly how real world politics works.
They didn't just make an awesome giant robots explosionfest, they actually managed to encode in political interactions, how easy it is to manipulate public opinion, and even some character depth in explaining why each piece of the puzzle acts the way it does.
Just finished episode 12. Okay now I see where you might have issues, things happen in episode 12 that seem like they should have been the end of it.
Edit: Found the problem.
Aldnoah Zero has a strong parallel to Code Geass, that becomes painfully obvious by Episode 14.
