No I didn't.
That's why I phrased my statement just by what was seen by their eyes only. I never said anything about Eren is a great guy or has bad intentions.
Pixis made that very clear. They've been doing nothing but losing their entire time and given there's only so many defeats a military can stomach. Even a tiny victory would be a morale boost. What do you have to lose by throwing in a wild card?
For the Recon Corps they have been at the forefront of the fighting so it's clear that they would take anything that would give them an edge in battle against the Titans.

The MP and priests may be short sighted, but their fear is understandable. The fact that the other important Titans may be humans is not unknown to them, it's actually central to their worry - they don't know Eren like the viewers do, so the possibility that he is a double agent of some sort exists as a valid viewpoint from their perspective.

Again that's complete BS on their part and I'm not basing anything on Eren's view at all.
A few years ago all of sudden two special Titans show up and destroy the gates allowing the fall of the first wall and then vanish out of thin air.
Now all of a sudden they reappear again to repeat the same process and in that time they find out that a human has turned into a Titan.
What does that mean? If he could turn into a Titan that means there could be others. If they kill Eren who they have under chains right now are they going to instigate a witch hunt on every single civilian then? They even talked about killing Mikasa and anyone else affiliated in that very room. Is killing Eren going to do anything to prevent another human from turning into a Titan?

The supreme commander's actions were calm and analytical, which is not the same as not having an opinion. He had only what information has been relayed to him, which is significantly less than what we have, and furthermore since he was acting as a judge he needed to be impartial. His job is to do risk analysis and make an important decision, not rush into things recklessly. Eren's effects on the political situation were factor he had to consider - if Eren's presence caused sufficient social strife that it would split humanity, then that could outweigh the benefits Eren could provide. Levi's actions provided a way to alleviate those political tensions by giving the other side confidence that if something went wrong that Levi would be able to handle it, so the political tensions weren't a significant consideration anymore after that.

Again that's complete BS on the Supreme Commander's part. The fact that he had random people screaming out in the middle of the trial makes the whole thing a freaking farce. A true impartial judge should ensure that emotions, which the idiots keep going on about, be kept in check to avoid what you call "reckless" decision. He should be looking at both short-term and long term effects.
If he's the supreme commander of the entire army then he should be very well aware of the low morale amongst his own forces. They have suffered nothing but defeats over and over again and he along with everyone else had to sacrifice 250,000 people in order to alleviate the food shortages. Levi pointed it out very clearly, they NEED Land badly.
Eren's actions resulted in a huge morale boost amongst the populace and we see that some of them talk about re-taking the wall.
The fact that the Titans attacked only a few years afterwards in the same manner means it'll happen again and the next time they won't have Eren to help them plug up the hole.
The idiots' whole testimony and arguments were made out of emotions and fear which was made extremely clear in the room and you say he should avoid making a reckless decision?
Sending Eren into the Recon Corps should've been obvious right from the start. If he's successful then they get the wall back and fight back the Titans. If he fails and dies then the matter is closed. The fact that they had to make a show in order to make their point shows just how poorly the Supreme Commander handled the situation. No wonder they're sucking so badly. It's a miracle that they are still alive.
You'll also notice that I haven't bought anything up in regards to Eren's past. I'm basing everything off of current events and simple logic.
The fact is clear. Yes there's a huge risk to leaving Eren alive and there's the political thing but what are you going to do when the Titans attack again? If an opportunity arises even if it has the slightest chance of success you should take it. That's just plain common sense. The fact that Levi had to beat up Eren and then for the idiot MP to point out he might enrage him just goes to show how stupid he is.
(as well as the idea) contrast as much as possible.
