The fact they went up against something they'd never seen before with shit Intel and a bad plan is a different matter. Example of when training goes well, Rhodesian Bush War. Example of when training doesn't help, literally the films Predator, Aliens and War of the Worlds. May notice something there with the examples. Link to comment
yahtz Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 CONSIDERING THE CIRCUMSTANCES, the mi did pretty well at big K considering it was a massive fleet fuck up (in the book dunno about the movie), the main char didnt even die! and then AFTER that they completed ALL the objectives they had on all their other planets Link to comment
Arrow Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 this isnt a very good video on their government shit but it says some pretty good points on their military its fun to watch Link to comment

Bear in mind the first movie was pretty much the 'first contact' with the bugs and nobody expected them to be an intelligent lifeform at that point 8 hours ago, Tony said: the federation actually adapted to the bug's pretty damn quick. as soon as they found out they couldn't just send MI down to fight the bugs 1 on 1, the sky marshal resigned, the new sky marshal said 'okay we glass them and the MI kill the stragglers'. hence 'fleet glasses the planet, MI mops up'. also if the MI and fed were incompetent at war why would they seek to interrogate a potential source of intel on how 2 fight bog better??? the federation is adapting to bugs, but the bugs are adapting faster.
