[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Gene wouldn't have approved of a lot of things, like, oh, 5/7th of DS9. All this spastic politicizing just to avoid ANY association with the practice of war strikes me as both incredibly stupid and blindingly naive. [/QUOTE]True, Gene was sometimes naively optimistic about humanity's not too distant future and the though of a pacifist non-military starship that had naval ranks and weapons of mass destruction is more that a little self contradictory. Still...further to my previous objections Marines are simply too limited a group of soldiers to be Starfleet's dedicated fighting force. A 'Tactical Coup' is nice and all emcompassing of defensive and offensive activiity and can include activities historically undertaken by terrestiral marines (excuse the pun) as well as special forces groups like the US SEALS and the British SAS. Also as has been started before, the word 'Marines' has never been used in Star Trek to my knowledge, while the word 'Tactical' gets thrown around all over the shop. If I recall correctly, the closest they've come to saying the 'M' word was in ST:V when Kirk said something about 'Federation Soldiers'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
