I can't remember the name of the Andalite who lost his tail in battle. But he's in the greenhouse at the end of the book and Marco visits him. After Marco gives his speech (Which in and of itself gave me loads more respect for Marco than I all ready had) The andalite responds, <Thank you, Aristh Marco.>
It's the fact that he referred to Marco as an Aristh. Like at least one Andalite other than Ax had learned to respect the fact that the Animorphs were soldiers in the war.
