Higgins … (drops the mag)
Take cover, wait for the all clear.

Military intelgence is an onxymoron
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Heavy casualties? No one ever dies, no human anyway.
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
considering all the shit they went through i’m supprised the bug didn’t go critical on the flatbed
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
@LordMunchkin “Military Intelligence” is a contradiciton in terms.
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Higgins. take cover and wait for the all clear.
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
@TheBType Yeah, any of those is a good explanation 😉

@Metaphysicist
Razak’s decision is based on common officer training: one of your primary objectives at all times is to keep your men alive, because without your men you are incapable of fighting the war they are trained for.
Officers who spend soldier’s lives like candy tend to do extremely poorly: it’s a bad way to lead, and is generally highly ineffective in warfare situations, since sacrificed lives do not automatically mean success.
Sometimes all they mean is somebody die for nothing.

@LordMunchkin
Unfortunately military intelligence is only as good as it’s intelligence-gathering methods.
Gathering information on an enemy that doesn’t speak, doesn’t betray it’s side, and has only one reaction to human presence (that reaction being hostile attack) is very difficult.
It’s possible he’s under a lot of pressure, simply because nobody else can gather anything significant on the Bugs, and their lack of intel on them is something that’s a constant in the show’s progression.

@Kenisi1
He and Carmen’s ranks seem to jump around a bunch during the series: it’s possible the writers forgot what they were supposed to be and kept changing it back and such.
Another explanation is that Zander’s arrogance and Carmen’s frequent outspeaking against her superiors cause their ranks to drop a few times.

when did xander get demoted?
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Military Intelligence – It’s a contradiction.
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Halo-1-Marines 2-Covenant 3-Desperate Intergalactic War 4- High Tech all ´round 5- ODSTs 6-bold gusty officers
Starship Troopers Chronicles-1-Mobile Infantry 2-Arachnids 3-All out Intergalactic War 4-High tech all´ round 5-Drop suits 6-bold gutsy officers
NOT A COINCIDENCE, IT CAN´T BE!
Also… wasn´t Zander a major? What did he do to get busted down to lieutenant, show off too much? 😛
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
I wonder how they pee..lol
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
@TrollogyExpert the suit keeps them from burning up
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Xander was a major earlier wasn’t he? XD
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
dont matter i would have still dropped the bug bomb
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Though Razak’s decision was bold and heroic. It was also short sighted. Information gleamed from the captured bug could have saved more live than. The ten squads that were saved by dropping it.
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Though Barcalow was a Major?
His Shoulder piece say hes a Major.
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
I think the clip falling is supposed to mean higgins shat himself when he heard his name
October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm

October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm

October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm

October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm

October 8th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
