Haise has no doubts that were conditions the same as in the CCG, he could not decline the task set before him]
This isn't to argue the point, but...I've fought many battles I didn't believe in, or didn't want a part in. Then as now, I can say that my heart wasn't in it, just in those cases, that simply didn't matter. I'm grateful that you and others took the time to speak with me, regarding this.
For those who will answer the directive, whatever their reasons are, I'll support them if there is some good I can do them. And I will help the Nalawi. At least in those areas
