I'm looking for things to tell the admiral. I really do--I realize it's important to you, but I'm still proposing arming someone I hardly know, and who's obviously an effective soldier.
Don't talk about it to him like it's a weapon. You're not really arming me. The hand analogy still works here. Someone with cut off hands can't shoot a gun, but you wouldn't call giving them their hands back arming them.
I can live with anything. I think you mean what will I be happy enough with, and the answer is no restrictions at all. Anything else is livable, but not acceptable, and I won't pretend that it is.
