Allowing his own side to sustain heavy casualties goes against everything Suzaku stands for. If he has the ability to make a difference and save lives (no blade, 1 life is not better than another, a life is a life) why shouldn't he? Schneizel OBVIOUSLY didn't give a crap about losses, and he wasn't gonna back down no matter what, so a lot more soldiers would've died on both sides had Suzaku not intervened.

He did the right thing.
THAT is the one mistake in the entire post
and its also the one that makes it a flawed one
it shouldn't be his side
thats the root of the entire problem with suzaku really

and if britannian families don't deserve to have their loved ones killed
they shouldn't be sending them to invade other countries
britannia doesn't have a mandatory enlistment
anyone who joins the army, does so at their own choice

and by the way, one life IS better then another
namely, the life of one soldier defending his home against invasion, is worth ten lives of those who get paid to invade it
because, unlike them, he has a right to defend his home, while they have no right to invade it
its a simple
