Also true! Which is why it hurts them all the more when he defects to Karaba. Not that they'd ever make that public info lol

After all, the Federation wanted a Symbol, not a Hero

Hence why the creation of the MkII, to keep the focus on the Gundam and not its pilot

The Federation definitely sells him as a hero but I think it's less him alone and more "The Gundam was the weapon that won the war!" and it just so happened Amuro was the pilot. That's why they have him in house arrest, so he can't go against the narrative or draw attention away from The Weapon™

How is she once completed?
