Betsy Hp:
Exactly my point.  Either the DA is an army in the middle of a 
shooting war, so Marietta deserves to be punished in the manner that 
she's punished and the twins are deserters and should have been 
similarly punished.  Or the DA is not an army, the twins didn't desert 
and Marietta's punishment was *waay* over the top.  You can't have it 
both ways.

(Though I do agree with Magpie, I don't recall the twins joining the 
Order, and they certainly didn't help out at the DoM battle, as either 
DA members or Order members.)
