And THAT is why you'll never be a good ruler. Because of her, your foes retreated. Because of her, you lost less than you would have. Because of HER, your allies are still alive and we're only mourning two people instead of more. Instead of maybe all of you.
You had to watch two more people die? Cry me a river. I've had to watch BILLIONS of people die. More people than you would even know EXISTED on your world.
They had you dead to rights. You walked STRAIGHT into a kill box. And you only got out because of dumb luck, a loose cannon, and two sacrifices that never should have been made.
Your best isn't good enough, Zuko. Your best needs to get better. Failure isn't an option any more. Failure means DEATH.
If you can't get that through your head, you don't deserve to be setting foot out of the safety of the Bastion. And you sure as anything don't deserve to be "leading" anyone.
