I get your point and applaud the cool word you used. To measure the cost of victory though, a clearly defined moment of victory is needed. I don't think any of us can easily comprehend what is ahead of us and what "victory" will look and feel like. Having to suffer losses will be more difficult to accept to those who will be unaware of what the war actually was. There will be people that complain about inconveniences and disruptions to their daily rituals, but there will also be people that feel like they took part in something tremendous.

My biggest concern is that this could all be a letdown in terms of how all-encompassing the awakening is.
