With all the damage we've taken, it's important to remember that no matter what, we have to keep fighting

Casualties are an inevitability of war. We're soldiers; we don't have time to keep mourning for the dead.

[old_iron_knight]

Make time. Soldiers are still human, something we cannot afford to forget.

[agent_fumoffu]

So are many of our enemies.

[old_iron_knight]

Also something we cannot afford to forget.

[kuuusuuuhaaaaa]

Yeah... You're right. If we lose faith, we won't win. Thanks, Kyosuke.

[old_iron_knight]

Keep it in mind, I have a feeling we're not through this yet.

[gundam_savior]

Don't disrespect the dead by comparing their sacrifice to some sort of wager. Life is a lot more than win or lose.

No, it's what happens in between that matters most.

[old_iron_knight]

If you don't bet on the long odds, you won't move further. I think you know that just as well as anybody here.

[gundam_savior]

Maybe. But to those who gave everything they had, fought with all their strength, refused to surrender... can you really call them losers in the end?

[old_iron_knight]

Of course not. They're the ones who made it big.

[grandtheftmecha]

Glad to hear it from someone like you. God knows I've been moping way to much lately.

[old_iron_knight]

There's nothing wrong with taking a bit of time for that, just don't let it consume you.

[grandtheftmecha]

I'm usually the one who has to tell the younger guys that!

Thanks though.

[old_iron_knight]

No problem.

[code_ata]

Casualties and attrition suffered are within acceptable limits for an organisation as large as the EDF.

Nevertheless, experience can be hard to replace.

[old_iron_knight]

A human life cannot be replaced.

[code_ata]

A military organisation is unlikely to abide by that ideal, with the exception of some specialist personnel.

[old_iron_knight]

Even the most hardened military man understands that each subordinate is irreplaceable. We minimize loss, not inconvenience.
