I expect he's using the same idea that Eisenhower did: Even if they have one massive clusterfuck, KEEP THEM AROUND. They may still have use in them, or at least be properly sacrificed later to keep the hounds at bay.

Knowing Gryphon's enjoyment of The History Channel - All Hitler, All The Time! - I expect this to be the case. Tremayne had one large mistake: he underestimated the devotion of the Duellists and the Federation to each other. The idea that Dios might go and dial 1-800-CORWIN-HELP was not something anyone could have predicted...

Dear God. What's the NEXT school year going to be like?
