True slasher, things back then would be considered harmless by todays standards...
Though, I think this comparison works.
American colonies vs England. America tries peaceful solutions, fighting starts, America still tries to get a peaceful outcome. England truly starts the war.
Rebels vs UNSC. I don't know how peaceful things started out, but regardless somewhere they went downhill. For reasons unknown, the bombing of that colony took place. However, in this case I see the rebels, not the UNSC increasing the fighting.
I'm rather of the same mind on the matter of the Insurrection.
I'm not really on either side, but I think the Insurrection rightly bears most of the blame for starting the conflict between themselves and the UNSC. As far as I've heard they were the ones who started it all with the Callisto Incident, and things only escalated from there with the rebels getting more and more violent.
Might be wrong, but as my last post. I figure there was some point where somebody went "Are we going to far?" and the person above them went "No, they nuked the colony so this is fine and payback!" and the rest went "Oh okay!" and started doing crazy -blam!-.
I mean, yeah the Callisto's firing on the one crew was bad, but from what I gather a Navy person saw a crewman pulling a gun, and that started it.
Did that mean the rebels were right to space the inspection crew, brutally murder the rest of the UNSC personal on the ship and steal it, causing damage and more deaths to the destroyers sent to look for it?
I mean, right end goal, but completely wrong methods and mindset. The UNSC started mass military reconstruction BECAUSE of what the rebels were doing...
