Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love?” what he is saying is, peace is not possible with fleets and armies; another way of asking them is have they acted this bad to be treated like that?

Medallions are small metal plates which are attached to the hood of the vehicle as proof of the right to pick up passengers, who can only hail yellow cabs with a medallion in the street.
