It's kind of funny how stuck ponies (and people) can get in their ways. They (Swift Foot, Wrench, etc) complain about being abandoned by the pegasi and their lack of connection to what's left of the Equestrian military and yet it's ok for them to abuse other ponies and throw them out of a safe place into what they very well know amounts to a death sentence. So much for the pretense of caring and saving other ponies. I have to wonder what is with Swift Foot and this Wrench dude, since it seems they're thick as thieves...

So far so good.

Honestly, my intention wasn't meant for them to be viewed as being in on it together. I intended Swift Foot to be the military commander that is totally out of his depth, and so tries to live by social norms that simply don't apply anymore, and Wrench to be an opportunistic asshole.

Err okay, but it stills seems a bit like they might be in cahoots or at least have a relationship that means he doesn't interfere with Wrench or chastise him nearly enough for his behavior.

It's kind of hard to believe that Equestria really has rules requiring execution of ponies who attack soldier without some kind of pretext for why that would exist. It seems particularly unlikely such would exist in canon Equestria and as Fallout Equestria seems, to me at least, to derive from a certain point in canon I have to wonder. It might be appropriate to make a reference to some laws similar to those in existence in RL (ex. the Patriot Act in the US -- just a suggestion since it's something people might be aware of) in the sense of defining rules that changed due to the war unless your story includes such a law existing in Equestria from antiquity or at the farther past than Twilight and the EoH.

I see what you mean... I was more or less trying to do this somewhat logically, where it would make sense that the punishment would be incredible serious for a citizen to attack a soldier in uniform and on active duty. To my mind, it would be logical for Equestria to have a law defining something like that as treason, especially considering how long the war had already lasted before the bombs were dropped.

So, it seems like a case where I could have been a little more clear with what I was doing, and what I intended. I'll be sure to take a little more care in the future!
