Many were given a choice - death or dishonor. Many chose the former. This was kept secret to preserver the union and prevent a second round of France-style Revolution. Rest assured, the resources and will of the men and women enlisted to protect and preserve the union will be and has been exhausted in full. Many of us have been tapped to help facilitate this. Many of us accepted the offer. We were, after all, groomed for this for decades. How do you think it felt to realize this? How do you think it feels to be told you're just sitting around and doing nothing, despite this occurring? This will all make more sense soon. For now, we merely ask you trust us and find Faith. She's a pretty great lady.
