I'd rather hand Tamriel over to Molag Bal and a fish than to Galmar. As for Ulfric, well he's either: A) mislead, his judgement blinded by "honor" and rage, or B) Trying to take over Skyrim, for his own agenda. As I mentioned though, Galmar's a racist idiot, and a naive fool, who should get tossed off a cliff before he even gets nominated for any sort of possition of political power. The Stormcloaks just seem to be rebelling out of rage, rather than out of reason. Wow, so much hatred against poor Galmar. Now I really feel like giving him a hug. :(

And you know, there is always some kind of reason behind rage. I don't think there is something like "senseless anger", but if there is, it is definitively not the case with the Stormcloaks. are you seriously denying Galmar is stupid and racist? have you ever talked to the guy?

the stormcloaks do have good reasons to be angry, as their god has been abolished, but one shouldn't base major political decisions on emotion alone, especially with the thalmor waiting at the doorstep, waiting to attack the moment the Empire shows any weakness.

@Phantasys and everyone else correcting me about wuuthrad, i must have had it confused with some other battleaxe as i thought it did fire damage. my bad. guess that just shows how much i dislike using two-handed weapons. The guy's definitely not stupid, he seems to be a strategist on a par with Ulfric. In the Stormcloak Questline, it is he who identifies the whereabouts of the Jagged Crown. I'll ask this now, because we've had this problem before, you have actually played through the Stormcloak questline, haven't you? In regards to him being racist, what has he said apart from the odd quote about "damn elves"? I agree he has an unpleasant demeanour, but frankly, in the context of other Nords, the Thalmor, the Dark Elves etc... his treatment of outsiders hardly stands out. One can be a tactical genius, and still be unwise and naive at the same time. He may have tactical ability, but he lacks practical intellegence ("street smarts" if you will). In a nutshell, I am saying that he can't see the greater good. Thats the problem with the Stormcloaks. They find their traditions more important than the greater good of the rest of Tamriel. The Imperials however, get the big picture, and are planning for the future. That's why I joined that: they are wiser, and have more experience in this sort of situation.
