These ‘children’ are to be our saviors. We can’t afford to coddle them.
I hardly think stepping in to remove them from obvious danger is coddling, Graff.
Major, do you think that any one of them will have someone to save them from danger when they become commanders of our fleet? When they’re protecting Earth from the Formics? Because I sorely doubt it.
Yes, yes, you’ve given me that line before. I just can’t help but wonder if it’s really the right thing. You know I’ve questioned this from the beginning.
And I understand why, Anderson. It goes against our natural disposition to help those younger than us; those who appear helpless. You might try something that helps me: remember that these children are far from helpless. Given the right tools, they could rule the world. In fact, they probably will, someday.
That’s assuming there’s a world left to save.
