I keep seeing this criticism and I think it's incredibly short-sighted. Rick and his group don't need all of the Saviors dead, they just need Negan dead; ideally the surviving Saviors would then agree to peace with the other communities and the war could end there. They don't want to expend the resources killing all of them, they don't want the risk to their own communities of an on-going enemy after they kill Negan, and they just don't want to kill people needlessly. Giving Negan's lieutenants an out wasn't about expecting them to surrender at the beginning, there's too much risk to them then that Negan will win and they will all be punished/killed for it. It was sending the message that once Negan is dead, the rest of them can surrender and come to a peace agreement with the rest of the communities so that no more people have to die. [/quote]

"Bad guy" includes the lieutenants.  Rick doesn't need all those power hungry "Negans" around.  Negan let Rick live and look how that turned out.[/quote]

I don't necessarily agree that his lieutenants are power-hungry "Negans." If they were that power-hungry, I'm not so sure they would have fallen in with Negan in the first place because they would have chaffed at how heavily he keeps them under his thumb and under constant threat of punishment if they displease him. I suspect Negans lieutenants are more likely to be fairly weak on their own, and looking for strong leadership that will protect them and allow them to stay comfortable. If Rick defeats Negan and appears to be the new strong leader, they might come around really fast.[/quote]
