: The Academy has trained them well. But they lack experience. A little time in the field will make seasoned soldiers out of them.
Lincoln is supposed to be a principled man of faith, yet does not object to the child conscription ever.
: Or seasoned minced meat.
: You were young too when you enlisted.
: Yes, of course I only meant--
: I know what you meant.
: Well... didn't soldiering provide you with a better life?
: Sure, but the bar was low. Not a whole lot of exciting things waiting for an adept in Neullais. Nothing pleasant, anyway.
Neullais is the Spanish Inquisition Adept Hating Land Elias referenced earlier.
: I suppose that's true.
: These are trying times, Bianca. It'll be hard decisions like Varic's that bring us victory, if we live to see the end of this.
I feel like this is from an earlier draft where Varic didn't start the war. Lincoln seems to care about the country and its people, or we wouldn't spend 2 entire missions hunting down bandits in a backwater and ensuring they don't trouble the country again, but he certainly doesn't question whether we should break a 25-year-old peace with Aramor over unfounded allegations.

Maybe I'm being too hard on the game here, but it's incredibly dull and far to eager to submerge me in Proper Nouns while avoiding anything that might be remotely interesting.
: You seem rather certain.
: It's just a feeling I've got.

: Try sharing that with the troops. I can't promise anything, but they might find it more inspiring than your comments about "minced meat".
: Hah. Yeah. They might.

: What do you think of the kids?
: Inexperienced but well trained. We'll make soldiers of em yet!
: Or mincemeat!
: See, this is why I don't take you out in public. You always say stuff like this to ruin everyone's morale.
: Yea, but they're children! Don't you see how screwed up this is?
: You enlisted young yourself.
: HEY!
: Don't you think serving our mad king is a much better life?
: Well, it was that or be burned as a witch. How could the king do this?
: If we are to achieve victory in this war it will be through hard decisions. If we live.
: We will. I've read the script!
