I can see how that would be a problem. There's no sense in recruiting inexperienced people to fight in any kind of war. [You know, barring the fact that she had three kids in her party that weren't exactly battle hardened or anything, but shhh. At least they joined by choice.]

If there's truly a chance for victory at all. [She seems doubtful with them being chased to a moon and all.]
