Watched Amy start a new #Helldivers game last night, and noticed the initial text crawl of Galactic War statistics, including the fact that the average age of a Helldiver is 18.5 years. Which means that you are explicitly sending wave after wave of anonymous, cult-raised teenagers to gruesome deaths, instead of the bumbling, brainwashed adults suggested by the voice acting and character models.
This is of course a lot truer to how real wars are fought, and this is also a lot less funny somehow.
