So idk how Marines actually are structured

Well I can't help but wonder if there's a federation version of the national guard

That defeats the purpose

I don't think so.

people who can deal with issues that are a bit hairy for the police but don't quite need power armoured nutjobs

Yeah, I'm sure there's SWAT teams in the police

could be

or some kind of paramilitary organisation

It wouldn't be a national guard though

there are MI scouts

I wonder if they wouldn't also make good infiltrators

like if you need to get into a bunker holding prisoners, a marauder suit might not even fit

@Fitzydog thing is though, the book never describes a "rifle"

That tii

But I think they definitely use them

Because of basic training

true

The 1-500 blankd

Blanks*

lol

Good book

I feel the ending was a little rushed

Cause the plot with the bugs wasn't finished

But it wasn't ret about the characters

Really*

It felt almost a throwback to Crime and Punnishment

Where the characters where just tools for the moral message

That's a lot of Heinleins works

It was a good counter to the characters driven Red Sparrow trilogy I finished up last night

I just wish there was more expansion into the world

and more books based on it

Agreed

because MI are clearly the world's coolest space marines

You know, I hate Nazi Apologists, and I hate Soviet Apologists

But what bothers me probably the most are those who believe that Japan was a victim in WW2

I'd say the napalm bombings was a bit cruel and unneccesary

but other than that, they kinda got what was coming to them

What's worse is that Japanese schools enforce the victimhood

They make the nukes seems worse than they were

And then never mention Nanking, or other horrible atrocities by thr army

Even American schools do that
