But that is the path to become BA yourself redhand Send a noteboard - 23/10/2009 02:59:15 PM
Pevara and co. showed the way to use the BA once you've got them. Bind them with new oaths of obedience. Remove the restriction of using the One Power as a weapon, put them under the control of the Aes Sedai and you've got a force that is completely expendable, but highly deadly.

The Seanchan are defeated, but certainly aren't in a truce with the Aes Sedai or Rand. Having them kept alive as cannon fodder to go toe to toe with the Damane if/when they next appear would have been sensible.

Or if you really do want them dead, send with a couple of minders who can Travel to Tarwin's gap and move into the blight with them ordered to destroy all Shadowspawn encountered - the minders stand back and Travel away once they are all toast. Let their deaths hurt the Shadow twice over.

With a couple of minutes that's two viable options. Surely Egwene in her almighty brilliance (using what Verin and co. handed her on a platter), could have thought a step beyond 'BA evil, die die die now now now!'.


After they died this way, what next? You are out of weapons now.

Do you recruit more DF channelers as your weapon? Should you convert non-DF to DF so you can bind them as weapons? Why bother with DF, you can be like seanchan and bind regular channelers using the Oath Rod and turn them into regular OP weapon. Or why not just turn them into personal army for your own glory and becomes the Army of Night, or why not just form a new BA so you can rule the world forever?

If you want people as your weapons, you MUST not treat them as expendable tools. It is evil. If the weapons know they will die and thrown away by you, they will just strike at you from the start, since they would die any way.

I thought our society has advanced enough so that veterns are not thought as mindless killing machines, but needs to integrated as part of society.

You treat criminals as criminals, and soldiers as soldiers. You treat soldiers with much more passion, and care. If you want the criminals to redeem themselves, and turn them into soldiers, you must treat them like regular soldiers and put as much care and passion into them as you would for regular soldiers. There is no half-way around it.
