    It’s a sardonic take on “super patriots” ala starship troopers. Lots of ingame puffery and double talk about what a great and indispensable hero the in game player is, but one of the core game mechanics is that the person you play as dies a lot on the battlefield. Each time you do, a ship fires down a new person, with a new voice and sometimes new gender that is told the same lies about being indispensable but has the exact same armor and weapon load out the previous “you” did.

    I take the above to mean all the crazy but seemingly normal double speak the game does fits sovcit talk to a tee.

      Yup. Even the in game tips, random things you find on the battlefield, propaganda commercials all fit the sovcit talk. No doubt in my mind these folks would be on the battlefield yelling “Freedom” .
