New arrivals aren't guilty of anything considering they're, you know, new. If the Navy decides to round them up just for that, then I'll probably blow them up myself.

On the other hand, I have someone I've never met face-to-face asking me for the effective military strength of a group of people I don't even consider an enemy yet and who might have, in all honesty, saved a lot of lives by halting some sort of attack and bringing order to an otherwise chaotic situation.

Do you see my problem?
