re: #358 Dark_Falcon

That can be solved: Use incendiaries to burn the precursors up. It also will kill some of the base personnel is an extremely ugly way, which should work to demoralize the rest of them.

OK, I understand the sentiment but, why are people so stupid?

If one of our bases were firebombed, would it demoralize our soldiers or strengthen their resolve?

Yeah. So why do we think that soldiers (more or less trained and expecting attack) in a culture that overly prides itself on machismo (not merely brave, but staunch in the face of threat) are going to act differently?

Eventually yes, they break. But it takes more than one attack.
