Pfft. What Mogar is saying is very true, and not just for him. I, like he, was on the losing side of GWII, GWIII, and the UJW. Additionally, the alliance I led in the Coalition War last year, DefCon, gave both STA and FLY white peace. In my announcement for giving STA white peace, I did voice some of my anger for the harsh terms chefjoe had presented, and, as many had anticipated, I did receive flak from chefjoe (first time I've admitted this in public, heh); guess what? I'd do it again. It was the right thing to do. Most of the soldiers I led in that war now reside in TOOL, which itself didn't even participate in that war, was on the losing side of the UJW, and to my knowledge doesn't go around forcing disbandments or forcing players to leave the game, etc.
This post is not meant to toot my own horn; I'm just using personal examples, the best I have, to show that many on the 'Hegemony's' side are not evil or bad guys; we just had mutual defense treaties with guys y'all don't like. And, unlike the large number of alliances that for a year or more were happy to be allied with and participate in the Hegemony then cancel right before war, we were going to defend our allies in their time of need.
