fandomhigh | Tactics of War [Monday Evening]

Before I begin, I would like to say that I'm impressed with the ingenuity of those who were involved in the attack on Friday. I know little of the details, but if anyone would like to give me a full account, I would be happy to award you with extra credit for this course.

Also, Cameron Mitchell? Please see me after class, thank you.

Now, I had a long and boring lecture planned for you today (in which, of course, I expected you to plot my doom, as it would be an excellent sign of success for you as my students learning the tactics of war as one of my long term goals is to ultimately destroy this planet -- *laughter* Oh, I'm just kidding) but last night I saw this film that I vaguely remember seeing from the early 90's and I wish for you to see it and to write down three shockingly irritating tactics of either the locust-like aliens or the ridiculously stupid Americans.

Being both a commander of an invading force and ex-American military, I have GREAT irritation at this film and feel that it is a wonderful learning tool in how NOT to proceed on either (a) invasion or (b) countering such a genocidal attack.

She looks over at Aeryn and smiles.

And Miss Sun, I particularly look forward to your rather inspired point of view.

Now, please, sit quietly and watch.

1. I, uh, don't get a lot of this. But who in the hell sends the leader of the forces into the middle of a battle like that? I mean, I guess if they're desperate or something, but you want your brains somewhere safer.

2. Um. I don't get a lot of the technology. I kind of understand computers since I've been around here for a while, but not really. I don't understand how "Earth" computers are compatible with the alien computers.

3. Okay, and the guys who just flew up into the mothership? Why aren't they dead? I've been in a lot of tight scrapes myself, but that just doesn't make sense.
