What I want to know is why send youngsters to die armed with weapons 
that obviously had little effect on the bugs.  And hadn't anyone 
given any thought to a proper perimeter defense (claymores would have 
been extremely effective it seems to me!!)  - the director and 
the producers obviously avoided having any military personnel as 
advisors - didn't want to sully their "vision" of the project!!
