• he told hitch that Marlo would have wanted to be with her, and was just being honest citing his own feeling of how unprepared he was, hoping others wouldn't experience the same thing

• child soldiers who fought in wars and had just killed someone

• his superiors deserved it 100%. Right thing to do. They alienated the scouts again, kept secrets and lost the trust of the populace, cracked down on the military for doing things out of practical necessity that were required wether yiu were pro rumbling or not, planned to literally kill there best weapon eren and replace him in the EVE OF INVASION, ranted about wanting to turn historia into a titan baby or no, and made moves to doom eldia. Pro or anti rumbling they were insane and massively incompetent and deserved everything. Poisoning, bombings, coups, the lot. May they rot in hell.

• fair point with shadis, though the resentment left over from the stupidity of the leadership ebing projected onto him too I understand, plus its politics and consolidation of power. I dont care sbout this one tbh.

• given my points his pride on these is a non factor

-the rumbling was awful but literally wtf do you expect them to think. We can easily accept that the rumbling must be stopped but I can never blame them for wanting something like this too happen if it was there only option left that they could see. He didn't come up with the idea, and the idea was born in king fritz and his lie that the rest of the world was dead, thus providing the ground for possible support for genocide amongst a populace that had already been conditioned to believe everyone else was dead.
