What the fuck was his problem?

They sent a green CO to handle a situation that would've shaken the most veteran leader?

Always struck me as jarring, if the men were supposed to be elite troops that they'd send them with such a noob.

They didn't know/care how dangerous xenomorphs are. They said it's "just another bughunt" or someshit like that, they were probably expecting having to shoot up some brainless local fauna.

>>85485889
He was inept.
>>85487074
The company wanted it that way, somebody who knew his shit would have exterminated everything on the surface. But they wanted to know what was going on and ideally a bunch of aliens too. That's also why the sulaco was undermanned.

He wasn't experienced enough to react appropriately to the situation. His character was a stand-in for all the poorly trained Lieutenants who got themselves (and many others) killed in Vietnam.

Thank you for completely fucking ruining what was in my mind an iconic alien noise. That's all I'll ever hear now.

Too fucking many E-3's.

But where they even elite troops? They were unprepared and unprofessional. Or was that just an 80s thing.

>They didn't know/care how dangerous xenomorphs are
Remember at the start where Ripley is briefing them on the Xenos and the stupid Spic pipes up with a """"joke""" like

>Look mang, I just need ta know oooone ding: where dey are

And everyone cheers her manliness and decides to skip the briefing. They then don't even know they they have acid for blood or that they lay eggs in your chest and burst out, it was fucking retarded. Michael Biehn's character should have asked Ripley to finish the brief at the end if he's such a brilliant veteran as they try and imply later.

i'm sorry anon haha

Simulations does not a soldier make.

He said he wanted them to lay down suppressive fire with the incinerators and fall back by squads to the APC.
