    considering how brutal and unorthodox the fighting of first battle for Fallujah was in 2007, it is pretty safe to say these xenos are in *WAY* over their heads, I'm talking machinegun nests built at the end of indoor hallways, tunnels dug between buildings and under streets, landmines (both Anti-Tank and Anti-Personnel), snipers, rocket launchers, IEDs, the works

    I would hope that I recognized the distress I was causing and explain that our deathworld had taught us to appreciate the value of prosthetics and humans tend to do everything to excess. Besides if the enemy has a similar reaction human soldiers would trade in bio limbs for prosthetics for the tactical advantage.

    xeno: EWW I'd rather die than get metal to taint my body
    humans: From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.
    Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you.
    But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.
