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.Humans-Counting on the idea that all the nations of the world would somehow magically set aside all the differences of millions of years of fighting of territory and religion and band together to join forces.

2.Aliens-Not having any sort of protection against computer viruses. Seriously, if your defenses are so dependant on your computers, protect the damn things.

3.Aliens-Not having any of their fighters defending their weak point at all. I mean, I know that their weak point is a giant laser o' death, but a few guns to keep fighters from shooting it probably would've been a good idea.

Bonus fourth point.

4.Humans-Don't keep important information from your leaders. They're, ya know, your leaders.
