So...they are going to send gen x and gen alpha?

    We're too old. There's a reason they recruit high schoolers. They don't have enough life experience to know when they should say, "with all due respect sir, fuck that," when given an unlawful order. Also they know we are more likely to kill the officers if we decide to go out.

    I mean, recruit the gen x to be the officers and the gen alpha gamers to pilot the combat androids and drones.

    pilot the combat androids

    I'm convinced this near-future sci-fi bullshit exists as a means of suckering in 19-year-olds who think they won't be in the trenches getting mortars dropped on their heads.

    Like this tactic is even new, just replace “near-future sci-fi” with “DnD + American Gladiators” and you have the same dumb shit but 25 years ago
