I get the friendly-fire side of things - I feel like that's a potential hot-button issue, and I can't really say there shouldn't be an emotional response to that. But the UN side of things - is that primary or secondary?
I personally feel that the UN is pretty much a useless organization - however, that doesn't invalidate the efforts of those serving for the UN, b/c they're not running the organization but are instead serving to their best abilities. Is it purely an emotional response here, then, too?
For instance - I think the UN is a corrupt organization in so many ways, showing favoritism to certain horrific regimes while virtually ignoring genocide in other parts of the world. I also think Arya is a great human for doing the work he has, in spite of the misguided UN hierarchy (I know he has expressed similar frustrations, as well).
Can't that carry over to the military side, as well?
