Terran/Gre'l conflict part two
Sacrifice
Senior Centurion JT Mackenzie wasn’t a happy man. As the senior centurion, his First Cohort was always the first boots on the ground. This was done to immediately have senior leadership on the field until the Commandant or another senior officer arrived to take over.
Being the first full cohort on the ground meant they were to secure the landing zone and then fan out to recon the area, not only checking for enemies in the area but also good campsites with water, good defense points, etc. This allowed the Commandant to hit the ground running, so to speak but once it was very literal when the enemy shelled the LZ.
And so far the operation had proceeded smoothly, once Commandant Garcia touched down, he took First Cohort on the initial recon of the area.
But this meant he was still checking the area when the Commandant took the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th cohorts out to teach the Gre’l a lesson. The First cohort got back to camp 30 mins. after they left. At first, he was annoyed but then they showed him the kids. Now he was pissed about missing the Gre’ls first object lesson on why you don’t murder kids.
After giving his report and hearing her recounting what was starting to be referred to as the ‘Battle of Bloody Valley’, they talked about how to handle the situation until reinforcements arrived. After chow, the leadership brainstormed the best way forward. It was decided they didn’t have the numbers for offensive operations until more help arrived. So the plan was to heavily fortify this settlement and send out units to bring as many settlers here for protection.

HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellwolder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.
Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
Humans Are Space Orcs (HASO) or Humans Are (Fantasy Race) Are used as a guide when writing.
In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories. Unlike Humanity EFF Yea , these don't always put a positive spin on humans\humanity sometimes looking at the darker side of human and humanity from the perspective of aliens.

@goatkiller666 Месяц назад

I don’t know why, but there is a huge difference between ordering people to do something where they MIGHT die, vs ordering to do something that absolutely would kill them. Even if the “might” meant 90% would die… in my brain, I know they’re more or less the same thing… that 10% changes the whole thing. With a 10% survival, people will be keeping an eye out for whatever the hope was. If they just know they’re going to die, kamikase rushes at the enemy lines, with two pockets full of grenades are now a valid tactic. I get what the author is going for here. I think it would be a more interesting story if the survivors were not given the option to volunteer. It would shift the focus from “These Marines are really dedicated!” (To be fair, that is ALSO a strong theme.) to focus on the ethical dilemma of the Centurion making a decision that he 100% knows will kill a bunch of his own personal friends and battle buddies. And himself, too. There was a scene in The Deathworlders (by u/hambone) where the good guys are on a planet, doing an organized retreat so a shuttle can swoop in and evacuate everyone. But the bad guys were too close, and the shuttle wouldn’t land if the LZ wasn’t secure. And, the bad guys were specifically looking to grab the good guy officer, because he knew something important. So he orders the unit’s best CQC fighter to remain, to slow down the enemy long enough for the shuttle. But that CQC guy is also the closest thing to a friend he had, and he ordered his friend to stay behind. That is some hard hitting moral ambiguity. But in our story here, everyone is volunteering. It’s a different moral dilemma. No less important, just… one that I find less interesting to explore. I guess this is a “me problem” and not a critique of the author or story.

Ironically, when I was in the army, if a charge person came out and said "I need 3 for a detail" most soldiers would scatter like roaches, but on the same hand, if command came down and said, Troops in contact, QRF needs QRF, they would have to beat people off with stick because there wasn't room for that many volunteers... now I'm OIF 1 old, and maybe things have changed, but when you're in the moment, and the shit is real, volunteering was a lot more likely than being voluntold.... probably just a me thing too...

@goatkiller666 15 дней назад

@@castropanopanopalis - Well, a “detail” could just as often mean, “I need you to guard this latrine, so the general doesn’t have to worry about assassins in the middle of the green zone.” But I see your point. For the record, I’m an Air Force brat / officer’s brat. My idea of rebelling from my parents was NOT drinking, not smoking, not touching drugs, and talking mad shit about the military. I injured my knee in high school, so was medically ineligible for military service. It basically took 9/11 happening to get me to really think about military service. A LOT of my friends and coworkers had done a single tour of duty, for the GI Bill, so they could get IT jobs. After 9/11 happened a lot of them re-enlisted and talked to me about why. All the mad trash I’d been saying about the military… I had it all wrong. My problem was the civilian decision-makers. A group of Saudi Arabians, lead by a disgraced Saudi Prince, who had been exiled from the country and hiding in Afghanistan or Pakistani. So we invade Iraq. And that shit was smooth. We rolled over the actual Iraqi military like it wasn’t there. And then we stayed for 20 more years. No clear goals. No exit criteria. The WMDs weren’t actually there after all. Basically, our soldiers do soldier stuff REALLY well. Cause that’s what their training tells them to do. But we had civilians sending people into harm’s way because it’ll give them a boost in the polls. It’s like sending cops on mental health checks. Training says that guy is dangerous, so he gets put down. So it turns out I just don’t like my dad, not the military in general. But even he had something to say about the US spending years in a place… Vietnam, in his case… with no clear objectives and no exit criteria. But it sure did get a bunch of people elected. It’s kind of weird growing up constantly around the military, while never being *IN* the military. Gives me a weird stance on a lot of the moral grey areas. Another example from The Deathworlders… when the civilian contractor guys who invented the space suits the space bound special forces used, somebody suggested that they could maybe build in a single-use “teleport me back to safe space, so the medics can get to me in time” device. Officers in charge had to consider how that might change those operatives’ behavior. (There were also some security concerns, and they weren’t 100% sure they could find a battery big enough… so the question was really, “Should R&D spend the time and resources to see if we can invent this?” But would fight recklessly, if you knew you could always just slap the button and be safe? Would you fight more cautiously? Would you jump on the grenade? Would you see the grenade and teleport home (thus failing the objective)? I don’t know the answer to those questions. I don’t even know what the answers would be from an “achieving the military objective” point of view. I know I’m not the guy who should give those answers, and I know most of the civilians who do answer those questions are not the ones who should do.

@goatkiller666 I vibe this. I respect that my opinion is not absolute, and I also understand it's not something people without at least a taste of "the experience " can relate to. Heck, not even every soldier will feel that way. Soldiers are people at the end of the day, and it's rare indeed for two people to process the same way. That said, I say it wasn't a hard choice to make, because (again, in my own experience, not talking for everyone here) Bucking orders to deploy isn't really something the average joe is going to get away with. "This is the job," as they say. But once you're boots on ground, the politics really stop mattering. Your focus shifts to the well-being of the guy (or girl. It is 2024) to your left and right. This is double true when the mission is for the sake of protecting people. I believe the saying is something like, "If we do this, they might still die, but if we don't, then they will definitely die." As to your other sci-fi example. Easy anwser is look no further than video games... do you think the average player is giving any serious thought to their mortality when they hit the start match button? Not add that sentiment to the average grunt who already has a questionable grasp of their own mortality... again, I think the phase is "it's funny until it happens to you." Now, do I think the military would implement that tech... probably with a lot less concern for the moral dilemma and a lot more concern for how much the tech costs and, to a lesser extent, is it a force multiplier on the battlefield. In your example, if they can just teleport out, how long does it take to get them back in? Do they go all the way back to base, or are soldiers deploying beacons like their respawn points for people to redeploy/reinforce? Heck, let's go crazy... if we can do that, let's put the beacons in artillery shells or just launch them from orbit, then flood the enemy base with troops. I could get pretty nuts with that can of worms right there. But in regards to this story specifically, well... we don't know anything about their society as a whole, so we have no idea if they are an empire on the virtue of insurrection or a bunch of brainwashed helldivers... within the left and right limits of what we were given in this story though, I think it's safe to say that in their society, or military culture at the least, that the willingness to self sacrifice for the good of their comrades if not the state is a well accepted normalcy. After all, these stories are pretty much always a polarized example of some human ideal or another.

It is definitely not plagiarism because the character purposely chooses the number 300 for it's relevance to the current situation and it's historical importance in the actual story. Plagiarism is borrowing and passing it off as your own.
