Well there's a point to some extent. but why allow the enemy to recvlaim
teh most valuable part of the "weapons system," the mind? Sure
tactcially
a misison kill is a m,ission kill but in the long run (depending how
fast
you could put a chassis back into operation after it was disabled), then
you are not doing yourself any good but not destroying the soldier
completely.

Of course then the answer to that I suppose would be to map the guys
,memory and have it "on file" in case you lose the brain all together.
And
the next logical step after that is to just find a few archetypes and
map
their minds to hundreds or thousands of perfect clones.
