Harlock: you highly underestimate the power of the EDB.  Regardless, they have no choice. I'm here, I'm part of the group, I'll protect the group, and so will the some 2,000,000 troops in the fleet that is approximately 300 miles above the planet's atmosphere right now. This isn't about who live or who dies. It's about who comes out alive. Anyways, only about 20,000 of them are actually people, as we see droids as a better fit. Expendable.

I'm not estimating. Your troops are caused harm in conventional battle, whereas Alliance units are not. We watch the EDB, just as we watch all other known military entities. When it comes to combat efficiency, the IA has no equal.
