Shinn for the first time in his life since his beloved sister and family died had someone he loved and "loved" him back. This made him do what he did he tried his best to save her, he is a 16 year old boy not god. Everybody does mistakes and questionable things.

As for the post i did, first of all it's in this discussion. Second with that post i think it clearly states that he cares about Stellar enough to do something totally against the army code. However i do agree that it supports your thoughts a little to much, i dislike Shinn like shit on my shoe. That could be the reason why that post came out the way it did, which was the wrong way.

I have absolutely no disagreement what so ever that Shinn's actions were all he could come up with doing. Arguing that it was anything less then routine for Shinn to disobey direct orders is absolutely pointless as the guy does nothing he's told reguardless of who outranks him. Exactly what I'm saying is Shinn when he gave her to Neo absolutely wanted to believe that she would go off to a bunny farm to live a life without war. However, I don't think there was a romantic love between Stellar and Shinn much more a brother sister vibe. In my world Stellars love interest always was Neo not Shinn and that she cared about Shinn in the way you would look upto a big brother who protects you from harm. The point that is once he gave back Stellar Shinn expected never to see her again he was also doing his best to forget about it and was trying to convince himself that she would goto said "bunny farm". This line of thinking that Stellar, who is nothing more then a tool of war as she can not live without drugs and was made that way only to fight, would never have to fight again however is very childish and naive. This just shows the immaturity of his character. The point is this move nomatter where Stellar ended up was made so that he could forget about her because he didn't want to admit to himself he was not strong enough or capable enough to do what he would need to in order to truely protect her. Then the fact he blames Kira for killing her and not himself or Neo. I don't think anyone can disagree Kira is at best third in line for the death of Stellar.
