Makoto winced a bit as he heard the bitterness in William's words when he called himself a muderer. Makoto grabbed a chair and spun it around before sitting in it resting his arms on the back of it. "Well no one ever said the life of a soldier was going to be glamorous or even clean." he said before taking a breath. "But that's life in general I suppose. You make choices and live with the consequnces of those choices. You chose the job of a soldier and all that it entails. And a soldier's job is to destroy the enemy and come home alive. Doesn't matter who the enemy is. The enemy is whatever threatends that which you hold dear to you. Also being a soldier means we have to care more about life than any other person because we as soldiers we must take life. Therefore to us life is more sacred than anyother proffession. Because if we forget how sacred life is we become nothing more than monsters who must be delt with like a rabid dog." he said to him before taking a breath. "As for what happened today I don't like it anymore than you do but unfortuently this is war. It's never as clean as we try and make. To believe otherwise would be an arrogance on the order of assuming one was god." he said letting his words hang in the air for a moment before continuing. "Look I won't mince too many words with you Captain. Out there today for good or ill you did your job. No will fault you for something you simply didn't know. Nor should you beat yourself up for the fact that you should have known. It's not your job to find that stuff out." he said before he would ease up a bit to take a breath.<br/><br/>"As for where everything stands right now Captain, you've got three choice in front of you as I see them. Number one. You can accept what you've done today and move on. Number two. You can retire from the military and be a hermet and finally number three..." he said stopping for a moment as he reached down, popped open his holster and laid his side-arm down on the table. "...I can walk out of here and you can blow your brains out. You are too good a man for me not to hold back on this. So that's the way things stand right now." he said to him being frank and honest with his commander.
