These were very brave men fighting for a very bad cause.

1stSgt Nelson Kerr - At some point an invading army came in and united our tribal ancestors into nation states. While the exploitation that followed colonization was always a bad thing, the consolidation of tribes into nation states is, I believe, a necessary stage in the evolution of human governance. For most of Ancestors it was the Romans, then the British... I don't see either side as necessarily bad or good in those struggles.

The mugals were a nation state when the English were still trying to concur scotland. The bristhbdid not build much but th r varied eventing they could and murdered those that disagreed. Rembert this is the same group of thugs that went to war to sell opium against the wishes of the local nation a state. It is also responsible same group of thugs that shipped massive amounts of food out of India in the r0s while India was suffering from a major faminthrives do not steal for the be nifty of their victims and th British Empire was the most success group of armed robbers in History.

I don't believe most Americans understand their culture and this story could be a great introduction for many.
