[The question honestly leaves her stumped for a second, and then she makes the feed private, because she doesn't need everyone else to see this answer.]
You mean aside from how they kidnapped us and force us into battles? Force kids onto a battlefield? That we're given the bare minimum of training, absolutely no tactical organization and expected to fight their war for them, against highly trained soldiers? Aside from the fact they seem to have no interest in smoothing things over between us and the Exiles, despite the only reason they hate us being the fact we're the Initiative's pawns? That we've brought plagues and bombs down on them while it seems as if we're barely making a dent in the United Earth?
[Shouldn't this all be obvious? Isn't it how everyone feels about the Initiative?]
Because that's, you know, another thing. The way they seem to keep making decisions that just screw things up more than they already were, that all we seem to do is react to the United Earth and barely survive.
[They lost Elmer's world, they nearly lost to the plague, to the bombs. It feels like all they do is run and hide.]
They brought us here against our will, they ask us to die for them, again and again and again, for a war that they seem to have no idea how to fight, and you can honestly ask me why I have trouble putting my faith in them? Really?
