I'm not saying that there's not supporting forces or anything, I'm just saying they aren't just standard ground forces. They're always using AA guns or on ships or stuff like that, ground soldiers aren't going to be useful enough to have them risking their lives all the time.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, it sounding like the initial suggestion meant just standard ground troops and not people crewing more substantial weapons or transports.

And Neuroi have been appearing throughout history, but I think the only time where it got to this point without them quickly disappearing was during the first Neuroi War.
