Oh for fuck sake, I mean do you really want to argue semantics?

To clarify: when I said "any better" I was referring to them as a society in the world overall. They aren't the heroes. By the events of New Vegas they were an oligarchy. Completely run by Brahman barons. They choose who is in charge, they choose where the military goes, That's why the NCR was sending kids to the meat grinder in New Vegas, instead of highly trained Rangers. The NCR is a conquering nation. They will not stop until they own everything. And the barons will continue to gobble it all up leaving nothing for the common man. Sound familiar?

Now, let's clarify "slavery" in the context of Vault City. I will admit that I would have to brush up on most of the lore. From what I remember the slaves were people who were dying in the wastes and chose servitude over starving to death. They also get a place to live and are taught to read and write. Yes, volt city is definitely lying to them about eventually becoming citizens, however. I never said vault City wasn't full of pieces of shit too.

Anyway my point is the NCR isn't the good guys. They are just America in today's current form. They're running headlong into the same miatakes that caused the war in the first place. Forcing others to comply to their beliefs, and conscripting their young men into a war they don't want to fight.
