The Thin Green Line
 |
...tactical blunders and grotesque equipment failure... leading to 600% casualties. Pinned down by enemy cannons¸ send more fodder...
"FOR THE EVERLASTING GLORY OF ALPHA COMPLEX AND THE ARMED FORCES!
- Join the Armed Forces! (Joining is mandatory¸ citizen!)
- See the Outdoors! (And the parts of Alpha Complex that other service groups don't dare enter)
- Meet interesting life-forms (we call them 'targets')
- And terminate them (and the rest of your platoon).
!!!NOW 217% MORE PATRIOTIC!!!
"The Armed Forces of Alpha Complex are THE THIN GREEN LINE¸ protecting Friend Computer from the vast hordes of Commie Mutant Traitors¸ renegade generals¸ rogue warbots and rabid squirrels. As a member of these elite forces¸ you will be issued with the latest in absurdly unreliable and destructive weaponry¸ given the most impressive rank titles that modern semantics can concoct¸ and sent out to die both horribly and repeatedly. This will not only be fun¸ but patriotic and heroic.
"The most elite of the elite may even be promoted into the elite elite Vulture Squadron Warriors¸ The Computer's chosen few!
"The slightly less elite will be shot¸ blown up¸ stabbed¸ run over¸ betrayed¸ waterboarded¸ bombed and quite possibly dishonourably disintegrated.
"THE THIN GREEN LINE. It's like Troubleshooting¸ only with bigger guns.
