You know that disclaimer you sometimes get on TV pogrammes and films pointing out how the characters and events are fictional and aren't meant to represent real people or events in any way?

Al, I think you'll find that
The US soldiers had a nasty habit of using the Vietnamese women to gestate their offspring :(

it's like American Foreign policy summarised.
Go in,all guns blazing with no tact.guerilla warfare ensues.Marines are beaten back.Ideology fails.Awareness that this is for the benefit of a company.Survivors flee,after nuking everything.Alien follows them to safety,destroys technology.Is finally repulsed,but you know they're still out there.
