In Response To: Re: Why I Hate Glasslands (Train Dodger) : So, yeah. The UNSC is advanced enough to have man-portable recoilless : railguns, handheld laser cannons that can blow up armored vehicles, : ship/vehicle-mounted coilguns of doom, powered armor, cryostasis, a cure : for cancer, cloned organs, sentient AI and FTL travel... but they're not : advanced enough to have semi-auto shotguns, multi-shot grenade launchers : with impact-fused grenades, low-profile tanks with decent main guns, and : IED-proof wheeled armored cars with enclosed crew compartments? That's : some mad inconsistent world-building there. Either that, or some serious : pork-barrel spending on behalf of some very ripped-off taxpayers. I can : almost see why there are Insurrectionists to begin with; that stuff is : just bogus. Any 26th-century government that paradoxically backwards : deserves to be rebelled against. That's exactly how I've always looked at it. "Your future tax spacedollars at work, folks!" You seem to see the UNSC as being inherently evil fascists, but to me, it's more like they're bloated, atavistic, and mildly incompetent. Basically no different than modern, real world governments.
