It would cost less than the army required for an attack against the Hive.

I've never argued that a war on Yang would be cheap, so that point is moot.

If you will read what I said, the military needs a justification for its existence. And that is why they’re looking for conflict. So why not give it to them, we get ourselves a military as you say we need, we put that military to use against Morgan, and get benefits in return.

Because if we have to start a war solely in roder to justify the existence of our military, our miltiary evididently isn't needed very much, is it? In that case, why justify it's existence? And on the flip side, if we DO need a military, why start a new war to justify this, when the existing reason is good enough?

The war with the Hive is largely a defensive one, and form the looks of it will remain as such. The operation proposed here is one which would gain is something in return for our losses.

If it remains a defensive operation, then the only cost will be extra support for mthe units we build; lossess will probably be miniscule. However, this operation would NOt gain us very much, for reasons already listed.

I agree that right now is too early to attack Morgan; let him develop first and then take his bases.

Then why are we discussing this now? This plan, and all the polls, assume that we will attack right now.
