"Firearms.. Guns. Guessin you ain't a big user of them either. As for what happened last time, other side attacked a whole world. Sent us in, and a lot of good kids died a lot of times. Worse or better, not sure which, the guys here have ways to keep bringin people back from the dead. Don't know how much damage was done but bunch of the people here are kids and ain't hardened soldiers. I can only imagine what that did to their heads."
