Someone asked me once if I knew the difference between a civilian and a citizen. I know now. A citizen has the courage to make the safety of the human race their personal responsibility. Dizzy was my friend. She was a soldier. But most important, she was a citizen of the Federation.
I need a corporal. You're it until you're dead or I find someone better.
This is for all you new people: I only have one rule. Everyone fights. No one quits. You don't do your job, I'll shoot you myself. You get me?
I expect the best and I give the best. Here's the beer. Here's the entertainment. Now have fun. That's an order.
Figuring things out for yourself is practically the only freedom anyone really has nowadays. Use that freedom.
Genocide doesn't compare to this.
Prepare for Battle
The paratroopers of the future are here... and their enemies aren't HUMAN
When you battle 6 trillion enemies that will eat you alive, there are only two rules... EVERYONE FIGHTS. NO ONE QUITS.
