lyons had a schism develop in his ranks because he was using faction resources to run a charity organization for people as stupid as described in     which made a lot of his soldiers break off and do actual brotherhood of steel directive stuff. they rejoined later, but it's pretty clear that lyons was stricken from the record as by the time fallout 4 is happening the bos looks more like the enclave than anything, as they float around in a massive zeppelin and openly want to subjugate the retards of the wasteland. this appears draconian and authoritarian but you're on /pol/, and also keep in mind this is a setting where you can't "live and let live" because every second city block is inhabited by drug addicted cannibalistic raiders or something like (or worse than) a deathclaw. if whatever town you lived in had these problems, do you not think all the able-bodied men would get together to clean that shit up and keep people in line until it's fixed?
