I get really tired of people claiming that their mission is useless. I mean, what’s the alternative? Should they have just let the Fall of Haven hopen, just because Salem can’t be killed?

To make a comparison: Crime is infinite. It will always be there. So should police officers just all retire and not make any attempt to arrest criminals unless they are right in front of them?

Either way, there is something everyone forgets. Jin said that Ozpin cannot destroy Salem. Ozpin asked if HE could DESTROY Salem. It was never said that someone else couldn’t defeat Salem, or that there was a way of stopping her that didn’t involve killing her.
