I think it is about time Galliardi was sorted I recommend 4 horses one for each appendage and split him into 4 pieces
His priority is protecting Earth. It was stupid to put him in charge of the Alliance as he is Earth Biast. But in saying that he had the most experience of any EDF officer in relation to a space service. And there were no other servicing space services in the SS So they effectively had no choice.
And if Dumar wanted to return to the PC then he would not be able to effectively run the Alliance forces from a day's comm jumper away.
Military personell who aspire to be politicians are not inherently bad, you just have to balance that out so that it doesn't result in an inexperienced noob getting command of a protector class battleship
His actions against the Jung are justifiable from the point of view that the Jung can, will, and have glassed planets. And that even with a ceasefire once they have the upper hand they will roll over you without blinking. The false flag op by the Dushan who as far as Gillardi knows or cares are still Jung - and to be fair - they are still Jung, is still a Jung attack on the SS Alliance and there for he was totally fine with firing on the Jung. His ignoring the Dushan issue is however reprehensible! He should have kkv's heading to Takara and Corinair too to be in character
