User:The All-knowing Sith'ari/No Blood For Hafnium

"No Blood For Hafnium" was a slogan adopted by those protesting against the United Nations Space Command's Qari Sector Campaign during the Second Great War, based on the belief that the Plantard administration's rationale for campaign was to gain control over New Covenant natural resources, primarily hafnium. These critics felt that the campaign was not necessary towards the ending of the war, and believed that the campaign only caused a great deal of suffering in a primarily-civilian area with little military value.

Quotes

 * People say we should pull out of Qari because we're only there for the hafnium. What, do they mean the same hafnium that keeps our starships flying, our homes heated and the lights on? Regardless as to whether we should have gone into the Qari Sector or not, to back up a demand for withdrawal by saying "because we're only there for hafnium" is a poor argument at best.
