[That question hits on another grim reality: just as a commanding officer never knows for certain whether he's sending his soldiers to die for a cause worthy of the sacrifice, there are too many unknown variables at play for Levi to offer him a good, straight answer when it comes to this somewhat similar situation.]

We can only hope the asshole behind this wouldn't stoop low enough to stick an innocent person with a VIP buddy. It pisses me off, but playing the game as it's designed does seem like the quickest way to end it. We still outnumber them by a lot, and until the killings stop, negotiation is off the table. Whatever their motive, we have lives to protect.

The biggest break we could get is if the people running everything slip up somehow and we have a chance to overthrow them. But as far as I'm aware, that hasn't happened yet.
