Bots, Kill Limits, and YOU

I see a lot of Helldivers speaking treason and shirking from their duty to spread Democracy to the Automaton worlds. The worst of them complaining about the bots' murder abilities making it harder to overcome their steely despotism compared to the squishy fascism of the bugs.

Nonsense!

You're betraying and undermining the noble sacrifices of the waves after waves of Helldivers who have been on the ground, getting ground up in the literal and metaphorical meatgrinder of planets like Ustotu and Ubanea.

What those selfless and senseless Helldivers know is that the bots have a pre-set kill limit - it's only a matter of getting to this limit that other divers can then accomplish the objectives in each mission and operation. Never mind that there's not a single shred of evidence that this is true - facts have no place on the battlefield. You just have to have faith, because faith is a fact. It's so simple, even an idiot can believe it!

They obviously believe it, and their faith in Democracy is better than yours. You see this in their lack of concern to load up in a way that might address bots' unique abilities and tactics. They don't bother with such trifles as "damage mitigation" or "crowd control" or "tactical movement." "Stealth" is just another word for "cowardice"! You wouldn't see them caught dead in a pool of it.

Nay, to the contrary - your obviously superior peers are willingly laying down their lives, over and over and over, making every reinforcement count, by hunkering down and letting dropship after dropship land to unload a fresh load of killbots that wouldn't have been there otherwise. After all - if you don't blow your entire Reinforcement budget, it might be reduced when the Ministry of Counting apportions more for your next mission.

The only good bot is a dead bot, and shooting every bot that comes into view is the most Patriotic thing a Helldiver can do. If the bots are on patrol, make your presence known! Slam down the long c*ck of Liberty in front of every bot that shows its Beta-version self to assert your dominance. Lady Freedom demands it!

So get out there, Helldiver! Throw yourself into a battle that civilians might deem hopeless, so that you can come away and proudly proclaim that everything you didn't do, didn't make a difference, so why bother trying anything else! You'll feel all the better for educating others to follow in your goreious footsteps.
