Fallout does not deserve to be the work of fiction that has the best depiction of a US/Canadian conflict, like there’s shitty comedy movies, and maybe a Turtledove book that even deals with it. But all of them treat it as a joke, like the second closet thing I can think of treating it somewhat seriously is maybe infinite jest but it’s like Quebec and French people aren’t real and their struggle was like a a school production with cardboard to like the IRA.

Idk, I’m done ranting.

Also, despite his army's sus imagery, the reason he 'turns evil' is because his wife and daughter were killed in a terror bombing that the Regular Army were "too incompetent" to stop

Which is like if Colin Powell's family was killed in 9/11, and in response he started a second US Civil War (i.e. extremely based)
