My eyes rolled so hard at "in an honorable display of might". Humans know how to deal with that kind of stupidity.

[@tomb7942]

My first thought was "Oh look, they are lined up in bright red uniforms."

[@Shadowkey392]

Not stupidity. We used to do it ourselves. And it makes a lot of sense, really. You minimize collateral damage. Like that one guy in Mass Effect says “you fire those guns, you are ruining someone’s day.”

[@Greywolf905]

@@Shadowkey392 it made sense because the weapons we used were so inaccurate that massing our fire was the only way to reliably hit anything. it would not make sense here.

War is humanity oldest tradition and will probably be the only tradition that last throughout all humanity.

[@shadowpoet4398]

Humans... They reinnovated warfare. (also, the adage "war never changes" just means they start, progress, and end the same way: it's a tool to take from one and give to another. Since Cain slew Abel, humanity has killed one another over the same reasons: treasure, religion, slaves, territory, or even good old fashioned hatred. It's blood for power. That's how it is. That's how it's always been. Because War..... War Never Changes.

Humans will be half dead on the ground and still shout out “fuck yeah I win”

I am now 72 years old. I have lived a long & hard life. I bear many scars, both visible & invisible. I was once a young soldier. I learned my military lessons & I exceled. I served my country to the best of my abilities in a foreign land. At the age of 19, I was retired from the US Army due to physical injuries. I lived because a few older more experienced soldiers taught me that I could do amazing things because, I was a human being! They trained me, taught me that there was a power within me. A power that could do amazing things. I learned that my body and my mind could take a lot of abuse and still function. I learned I could push my body, my will beyond pain & destruction to achieve the goals set. This story is about that very thing. Humans are tough. We are violent and we have passion. We have honor and we have our history. This story brought back many things.

From what I understand, the failures that these species undestimate about humans that they either forget or ignore is that we practice on each other. We have strategies and tactics that have been perfected.

[@dandafan]

It's kinda cool how the wars and battles are almost 1700 style naval warfare with broadside to broadside and also combines the honorbility of line fighting in ground combat during the 1700

[@katherinkeegan8601]

I was wondering if anyone else caught that. I read that and thought about the English before America introduced the concept of gorilla warfare to Europe.

[@axdde6428]

@@katherinkeegan8601 america did not introduce guerilla warfare

[@katherinkeegan8601]

@@axdde6428 Then Europe didn't learn the lesson. If they had Britain would not have used the tactics they did. They were expecting the colonies to fight the way Europe had for centuries. They didn't know how to combat these different tactics. Obviously they learned nothing from the French and Indian wars.

“We will not flag nor fail. We will go on to the end. We will fight in France, we will fight on the seas and oceans; we will fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air. We will defend our island whatever the cost may be. We will fight on beaches and landing grounds, in fields, in streets and on the hills. We shall never surrender! Even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, will carry on the struggle until in God's good time the New World with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of the Old.” ― Winston Churchill

[@katherinkeegan8601]

Good story. It reinforces the idea of know your enemy. If they had bothered to learn about us, they could have not engaged - at least until they got reinforcements. I doubt their egos could contemplate the idea of there being someone they couldn't defeat.

The empire forgot a very important detail before going to war, know your enemy. Also, in a first contact situation, expecting the new specie to know and understand your rules of conduct and engagement is foolish. As for killing civilians, how is that ever acceptable to anyone?
