Re: LEGIONNAIRE DADS

Didn't he only just become a Legionnaire recently, I heard he used to be a soldier in a war that sounded right out of some of the old propaganda.

And that aside, while yes, it's preferable for them not to kill, let's look at the situation:

*stuck in a murderworld run by a psychopath
*out of his element and constantly getting thrown every which way
*surrounded by bloodthirsty mercenaries who likely wanted to make flutes from his bones
*looking out for other rookies, and having to protect some who are out of their league

Calling Freelancer a monster for killing mercs to protect kids is like calling Batman a monster for when he shot Darkseid with a gun in the early 21st century - maybe not what we wish he'd done, but definitely understandable given that desperate times called for desperate measures.

Now if he starts killing civilians, then that's another story, and I'd condemn him right alongside you.

But outside that - keep up the good work, Freelancer. Some of know you're still a hero.

Heck, my kid's putting together a costume of you for Halloween this year.
