'''" and misguided tactics." '''

Very interesting you say that... going back to the balloon couple...

Since the first interior squad murdered them, that would presume they knew what the balloon was for, meaning, the people of the world within the walls knew about human flight via balloon.

Considering that there is apparently no such thing as a flying titan (scary prospect though, amirite?) then why don't they just make the survey corps, whose goal is ostensibly scouting the world beyond the walls, just fly around in balloons and map the world from above rather than ride around on horses where they will be killed/"eaten"?

The answer is... you got it, because the government is trying to kill off personalities that would be drawn to the Survey Corps. I mean, it even comes all the way down to the recurring theme of the gross disrespect that the Survey Corps receives from the commoners. I fucking hate the shit that they are given but those cultural attitudes might actually be deliberately fueled by the government as all part of the plan.

Cheers.
