I was using a metaphor. If you like, I'll be glad to explain what it is. If you think I go to war with a sword and shield...I've got nothing.
I have never claimed to be better than anyone. I have said repeatedly I'm not. I'm deeply flawed, damaged and stay away from people because I've seen just what people are capable of. To take a belief of brotherhood based on a sense of duty, honor and a willingness to sacrifice your life for the Republic is logical. If you do not bond at this level with your team mates, your battle buddy especially, you will stop in a firefight. You absolutely have to know he has your back and you have his. He has to know if he is caught that you'll come for him no matter the cost. That's family. If you call that asinine it's because you've never bonded like that.
I pray you never have to. Hasan? Hasan killed his family. There's one punishment there, just as it is here. Rapid execution. With the bond comes punishment. It's how it works
