What do I think about the Evangelion program ? Well... Have you ever seen a fight with one of those angels ? I have. The only reason I survived was 'cause all that rubble that I was trapped under. I still saw the rest of the fight through the cracks though. I've never seen anything so terrifying. Space, time, physics, it doesn't mean anything to them. Nothing we have can even scratch them except for one of those robots. We need em.

... But we stick kids in those death machines. Kids! They should be going to dances and studying for exams not risking their lives and dealing with the responsibility of everyone else's lives. And people wonder why they're so crazy.
