Would you willingly enlist in a task force to attack this hostile force[...]

Not before making the obligatory overlords joke on Slashdot.

I would go, and in a scout too. However I would take retro boosters so I could GET THE $#@! AWAY if needed /mrgreen.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="mrgreen.gif" />

I'd be the turret gunner who gets hit by a piece of shrapnel as the bbr pilot grazes an enemy minefield.

My replacement gunner asks why there is a keyboard in the turret with bloody fingerprints on "ctrl", "shift", and "D".

Globey is the grizzled veteran with deep scars from the last war who evetually gives the main character a modicum of wisdom before being brutally cut down by an alien attack on Earth, motivating the main character to defeat the evil invaders.

No, he's the guy consoling all your women while everybody else is fighting to preserve humanity.

"It will be ok baby, it will be ok. Now, come to butthead."

Oh the humanity!

How about the 8 (?) minute delay communicating between Mars and Earth. That's some killer lag.

Nan on the inside = brilliant.
