This isn’t mentioned in Brotherhood, but the reason Roy and Riza came to Resembool scouting out the Elrics is because someone fucked up the ages on Ed and Al’s file.
Literally Roy and Riza are riding in the back of some horse-drawn carriage into Resembool chatting with the driver like “yes we’ve heard rumors of two alchemist brothers here, Ed and Al Elric ages 31 and 30 respectively. Do you know where they live?” And the driver pretty much answers with “lol what? Those kids are like 10.”
Except now Roy and Riza are already THERE so they decide “Fuck it. Let’s pay a visit anyway.”
So everything that went down in the series is thanks to some mysterious fuck up in the Amestrian Intelligence Department and I salute that person.

Considering who runs the military and who is pulling the strings, I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t a mistake. I mean, Father already had a good chunk of the future planned out and needed elric in the military to accomplish most of it.
the next time someone is condescending and rude to you and does something shitty like correct your grammar when you’re just trying to help them, fight them and break up the zodiac that would have destroyed the dangerous and bloodthirsty demon that threatens to take over the galaxy and ruin all chances of saving the world just to spite them
