Liberty Navy [LN] Feedback Thread

[Sarawr!?]

Well that might be what Rachel was trying to do, but here's what she said (to the terrorist):

"In fact, the Privatization of the vast majority of Liberty's police forces in space, and on our planets is something of great concern to me [...] I've seen firsthand the negative effects that Corporate Influence can have on the average Libertonian, and on government[...]If the Navy actually held power over the government, as you seem to be insinuating, I'd absolutely disband any privatized police forces existing within Liberty, and have their assets nationalized so that they could be held accountable to the people."

How on earth does that in any way or shape sound similar to:

"If you don't want to have to kill or capture every bad guy in the country, you have to reintegrate those who are willing to be reconciled and become part of the solution instead of a continued part of the problem. And then, above all, the resources"

Petraeus makes no notion of his personal opinion. He is stating that "if you don't want to..." and goes on with a formal analysis that is pretty much common sense backed by every scholar in the field. He says nothing about what he wants. He doesn't say "I don't want to". He makes no mention of the US and it's faulty institutions, he is solely talking about "the bad guys". The difference is so vast.

So again, you're refusing to look at the entire message and choosing only to take one portion of it and remove the context in which it was said. In which case, this conversation is pointless.

OH, and if you think there's no mention of "imperfect governments" or other even more unpleasant terms and the suchlike in reconciliation talks between local tribal leaders/terrorist militias and US/Coalition troops, you're dead wrong.

Do you really think you'd be able to convince people taken to violent extremism to just give that up, if you absolutely refused to see eye to eye with them on some level?
