It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to see so many of my comrades-in-arms on these forums or maybe it's that kitten I just ate. :3
Heh, it makes me fairly disgusted that so many people have fun mock-praising a genocidal ultra-totalitarian pseudo-government that happily slaughters people out of some confused ideal based on racial purity and nationalism. I know, people are taking the piss, but I do have family members who were involved in WW2. Anyways, skipping the personal anecdotes and desire to make OTT flames, let's talk FO3 politics, philosophy, morality, and whatnot.
The way I see it, the only good Enclave member is a stone cold dead Enclave member. Doesn't matter who they are, where they are, or what they're claiming to do, because they deserve death merely by association with the Enclave. Anyone helping the Enclave is at best a collaborator and thus deserves to die. Horribly. Doesn't matter why, doesn't matter that his kids will be killed if he refuses, or that he was brainwashed, or that he really doesn't want to do what he's doing. The Enclave and all associated with them are scum and the more they all suffer before expiring, the better.
Sounds harsh? Well, it's the only way to fight that kind of human garbage. If they offer no compassion then they shouldn't expect any. Fighting fire with fire tends to leave the whole damn world burnt to a crisp, but seeing as the Enclave scum already saw to that by nuking everything to hell, there's really no convincing reason to hold back in the slightest. That being said, I'm not entirely heartless. I wouldn't feed Enclave infants to feral ghouls but advlts and mentally polluted teens are fair game. Anything goes. Disassociate or die painfully, knowing that your last act in this universe was to bring a smile to the face of a very angry anti-totalitarian, who pisses on everything the Enclave stands for.
The Enclave isn't here for your entertainment. The Enclave is here to get rid of the mutation in the wasteland, as well as the filth and the corruption. Here to serve your country, not your needs.
They're here to clean up the mess they created themselves, by butchering what few people they didn't manage to kill during the nuclear holocaust? Riiight. And serving "your country"? A country consists of the people inhabiting it. The leaders of the old US of A tried to butcher the vast majority of their fellow Americans. Claiming any governmental privilege, rank, or authority is beyond ridiculous. Those rotten bastards can burn for all I care. :flamethrower:
