Re: [DS] Genetically Enhanced Infantry

I really have to agree with this... 
Even the Dorsai, in spite of the fact they first appeared as, I believe
"The Genetic General" with a bred super-soldier blurb on the cover, were
in fact just well-trained men. 

And it is a proven fact that John Wayne could take out any other soldier
anyway, genetically superior or not.
