Gundam 00 Lite Novel 1 - Noboru Kimura

As you know being a third part between the oppressor and the oppressed, when the oppressed have to defend themselves, they deserve to die too! And them Lockon is wondering why the solar array is all broken. BECAUSE YOU SHOT THE GOOD GUYS!!!

 

I really hate this idea that "All fighting is bad mmkay" as the Gundams can rebalance the power and prevent the very war they want to stop from breaking out.

 

Then again Gundam has always had this centrist view on things, and Tomino is a horrible misogynist so there's that going on still too. (The women basically do nothing.)
