It's actually kinda weird and I'm not sure I like it. And of course, political leanings of a whole story get kinda weird when we're swinging from actually discussing politics to pretty much entirely dramatic-logic storylines. Like, reasonably speaking everyone in DRK's storyline should probably be in jail, including the WoL, but we kinda have to pretend rational society doesn't exist in that questline.
Yeah, they kind of paint leadership of nations up as being similar to heroing everywhere, too. Like I said on the last page.

Of course, if we begin with the mindset that the adventurers are all mercenaries who are largely out of work or were out of work, and the WoL was one such Merc, then maybe it's their Merc tendencies showing. Wouldn't want to put off a possible employer! Especially since they're rolling in the dough!
