@Bluethunder What?? Why would Raven convince Tai to join the fight? She doesn't wanna be in the fight herself, and she thinks Ozpin's war is a waste of time and every life lost to that war is a meaningless sacrifice. Hell, that's why she tried to convince Yang to join her and stay away from Ozpin. She doesn't want Yang to waste her life and die for absolutely nothing.

If anything, if she cares about Tai (which she might), she would try to convince him to NOT join the battle, for right now. She's the one who needs convincing, and if and when she does finally join, then she would try to convince Tai.

As for whether or not Tai even needs to be convinced... It really depends on how he feels about Ozpin and the war. For the most part, I think Tai would be willing to join and help. However... I really think it's possible that he blames Ozpin and Qrow for the loss of Summer, and that could cause him to have bitterness toward Ozpin's war. The reason I think this is because Ruby grew up not knowing about the powers she has from her silver eyes, and when he realized that Ruby didn't remember what she did to the dragon Grimm, his attitude suddenly changed and he tried to change the subject. He was annoyed when Qrow wanted to talk to Ruby, possibly because he knew that Qrow was about to tell her the truth about her silver eyes - a truth that Tai may not have wanted Ruby to know because she would run off and join Ozpin's war just like Summer did.

And before anyone asks "If he cares that much about Ruby running off, why did he just stay home with Yang after Ruby left?" When Oobleck asked if he had thought about going after Ruby, he literally told Oobleck that he had to take care of Yang. Why is he still at home? Because Yang went to find Ruby, and he probably trusts her to be able to do it. That, and he kinda still has a job at Signal. I mean, he could apply for time off and do missions while out in Mistral to earn bill money, but uh... how exactly would the bill payments be made cross-continent when the cross-continental transmit system is down? We know from WoR: CCT System that long-distance mail is unreliable because of the Grimm.
