Points of Difference
Elizabeth was brought into the Stargate Program on the basis of her work on non-proliferation treaties. She knew that. Those who wanted civilian control of the program thought that she'd be a mediating influence.
That's certainly what she expected when she stepped through the gate to Atlantis. She expected to have to fight to convince the military contingent that words were more effective tools than weapons.
She wasn't counting on a military commander who was as eager to seek friends and allies as fight enemies.
Who'd have thought two people with such different methods could have such similar goals?
