By the time the dragons came, EDF's main HQs already started getting overrun. One specific ruined city was inhabited by a dozen Godzilla-monsters, as if 1 was not enough for one city.

[@Lazarultos]

For a comedic B-Movie game, it's nailed the grim humor that soldiers would have to make light of the terrible situations they often find themselves in. Because yes, everything is shit and we might die soon, but getting depressed and despairing about it doesn't help anyone. Accept the circumstances, keep marching on, and don't stop struggling until it all ends.
