Once, when he was five or so, Roy Mustang was taken to the military parade grounds by his father.
He had gazed upon those blue uniforms in admiration and awe, at the power and majesty that Amestris displayed. He was proud to be a citizen of it and, from that point on, wanted to be part of that glory and power.
He wanted to be the best example of his country, and, as he watched the general lead the formation, he knew he had to go to the top.
"That's a big dream," his father had said.
"I'll get there."

Ed's first experience with the military was a few days after his third birthday.
"See those men Edward?" his father pointed out the window, "They protect this country."
Edward gazed out at the blue uniforms, some ornamented by silver pocket watches.
"You see that man out front? He's the Major Mustang, one of the youngest state alchemists in our history. He's got a dream, a big one. Do you have any Edward?"
Edward looked at his father and then to his mother and brother who were lounging on the couch.
He smiled up at his dad.
"No."
