Sure we get a couple that break the mold in the form of Gaius and Regula, but the majority are walking war crimes. So claiming any type of grey morality, outside of a few situations, is wishful thinking at best. As for Misijia, much like Yotsuyu, her character and crappy "redemption" arc ruined the story for me. It would have been better to let her skull of been ground to paste beneath the WoL's boot in DR>

I mean, people seem to forget that the Garleans were literally forced to conquer because they were kicked out of everywhere else. Disregarding that though, it's not as if we and other nations havent committed war crimes. Doma castle flooding? Our mass murdering of various beast tribes etc. It's a war though. As seen in stormblood, both sides do whatever they deem necessary regardless of if its a war crime or not. It just so happens we're on one particular side.It really is just the way war itself is. Again though, if i actually had a choice i would wholeheartedly join the IVth instead of the bozjans in a heartbeat.
