The Modern Traveller

Blood thought he knew the native mind;
He said you must be firm, but kind.
A mutiny resulted.
I shall never forget the way
That Blood stood upon this awful day
Preserved us all from death.
He stood upon a little mound
Cast his lethargic eyes around,
And said beneath his breath:
'Whatever happens, we have got
The Maxim Gun, and they have not."
-Hilaire Belloc

"On the side note, Guardpony, HQ is considering your promotion for your courageous actions in the field, and coming with your promotion, an increase in your retirement pensions by 50%."

"... Sir, can you please tell me more about those medals?"

'Sick of medals' was a quote from a french soldier from WW1.

I understand the context. The point of my reply was that any doubt, resentment or atrocity could be ignored/justified by even the most stubborn person if you give them the right incentive. Throw any dog a bone they'll become your loyalist pet.

So she's sick of medals? Give her something bigger, like a promotion. Whatever disgust she has on the horrors she saw and the atrocities she faced would be forgotten the next day and she'll be back to being that loyal patriot the next day.

Of course, I'm a cynic on sentient nature, so I may be bias.

Assuming this is an Imperialist era, it'd only be years before they'd be asking "Why don't WE retreat..."

Wow.
