MemberNoobAug-03-2013 2:42 AMJust seeing starship troopers it struck me as abit odd that earths military would use 'that' tactic to fight the bugs. To send infantry with assault rifles also with standard ammo justs seems like a bad idea. I would think perhaps armoured tanks would be a better idea. The tanks could withstand a bug attack where as infantry could easily be wiped out. Even the use of standed ammo seems silly, why not explosive tip/standed light armoured piecering round.

I guess the simple reason being - it was more badass haha. Starship Troopers would've ended pretty quick if they just bombed the Bug planet.
