"Sir, with respect, this is not like buying a bad batch of isolinear
chips, cheaply made flack jackets, or bad fish. We are fighting a bunch of
honorless, moraless, and murderous trash. They don't care who they kill. I

They ignored us armed folk, and picked off the unarmed medical personnel.
Used snipers, those bastards."
