Unless it goes sideways before she gets to sing <| sep |> I ' m calling off tomorrow . lol . Pokemans man <| sep |> Np , gotta help each other where we can <| sep |> It doesn ' t matter that the evil death bots were deployed to slaughter civilians because the IMC soldiers would ' ve done the same thing . Your entire argument angle is that the IMC were wrong to deploy the Spectres , which is wrong since the IMC has no reason to put human lives at stake . Spectres aren ' t sentient , they don ' t have robot families to go home to That grunt who just tried to get out of a drop pod , on the flip side , does . It ' s not like the IMC were deploying just to be evil , they legitimately thought the Militia might be hiding there 316 . They were wrong , sure , but you can ' t fault them for making a logical assumption This settlement is within jumprange of the Uma System , it was assumed to be uninhabited before this point , it would make sense for the Militia to be hiding there and acting on it . Even if their action resulted in unnecessary casualties . And you people actually believe the IMC was justified ? Are we talking morally or logically ? Because logically , the IMC did everything you would expect from objectivefocused military contractors with no lawful obligations . Look I don ' t feel like having a long argument with someone who basically boils down to a war crimes apologist , I have no arguments so I ' m gonna call you names and act all smug . nothing you said justified the IMCs actions in any way in my eyes or the eyes of international laws of warfare . Do you want me to go over the timeline with you ? I will . Militia loses ships during the Refueling Raid , they flee the system using their newly acquired fuel . This triggers a search by Graves and the IMC . The probes deploying during said search locate lifeforms on an uninhabited planet within jump range of the Uma System . Spyglass recommends deployment of an advance team lead by Blisk . The advance team of Spectres deploys , one way or another a firefight breaks out Evidenced by mutual gunfire heard in the Militia ' s SOS signal and the Spectres occupy the town . The Militia shows up around the time Blisk ' s complementing unit showed up , the mission itself properly occurs . As you can see here , nowhere do the IMC simply go Fuck those Frontiersmen lets try out our new robots . Testing the Spectres was a bonus to finding and damaging the 1 st Militia fleet further , it was not the stated goal nor the reason colonists died . In the larger scale of things , the IMC is arguably a necessary evil . Titanfall 1 implies and Titanfall 2 ' s Marder confirms that the IMC are supplying the Core Worlds with a constant stream of resources taken from the Frontier planets . It ' s heavily implied that the Core Worlds aren ' t pleasant to be on One IMC grunt remarks that Earth has no breathable atmosphere , and while the IMC isn ' t making the situation better they are still sending necessary resources back to the Core . If the Militia wins , that line stops and the Frontier is effectively lost to humanity proper and will likely devolve into a lawless wasteland . the eyes of international laws of warfareNeither side is playing fair in this conflict , the IMC don ' t really have a choice but stoop to the Militia ' s level . The fact that the evac segment really exists is proof enough . MacAllan said it better than I didThey ' ll call us terrorists or worse , but we can ' t win playing by their rules . It was either fight dirty or die fighting , and the IMC isn ' t about to lose for some misguided sense of morality .
