Outrage in the Veterans Community

And if we compare shooting Republic (or Federation if you may) against Triglavians, I imagine it this way:

Whom are you going to hunt first, a sleeping at winter bear that is laying in his den, hugging a huge barrel of mead he stole from you last summer, or way smaller wolf who every day jumps over your fence and kills your sheep (or steals your slaves)?

These are the questions we each must answer, and the questions our governments also are answering.

I believe the opinion of my government can so far be summarized by this meme:

Well, maybe, just maybe you could consider actually living in peace with the Empire and forgetting the crimes that were committed by people that died hundreds of years ago?

Even if you dismiss the fact that crimes against Minmatar people are still committed in the Empire every day, and assume no new ones have been committed since the Rebellion, the Republic is only 143 years old. With Amarr Holder lifespans, some people who were adults already and who we fought to gain our freedom are still alive. There are people in the Empire who consider my home, me, and my family their legal property and more who keep on calling our regions ‘the Rebel Provinces’ only expecting to conquer them back.

@Diana_Kim

because, honestly… I expect the Republic eventually to be steamrolled and terminated by Imperial golden fleets

Honestly? So do I. The only difference is I expect it to happen regardless of whether we fight it or not.

Would you surrender, if you thought it was inevitable that the Federation wins?
