I've always read it as at least a little bit a comment on the Iraq war, but what's it's deal? It's the only anime I can think of that climaxes with a military coup, and its cool that mustang wants to put people on trial for war crimes, but then he gets in power and doesn't do it.
It's also just got a whole plotline about racism, but it feels slightly off? Like minorities are okay if they save your life.
Oh you're right I forgot he planted them
still though, I feel like he shoulda been taking a more active, time sensitive role, he spent a lot of time puttering around
