I don't mean to argue with you, but when did they say that they were characters that they were just going to "throw away?" What I got out of the whole civil war thing was they they're not gone. If Maxis' ending becomes canon, then sure they are dead, and Richtofen is too. Which I don't think they would. However, if Richfoten's side is canon, then their not done. I mean Richtofen merged with Samuel. They're not just going to throw that away.
