No no it's just in the accent, right? A-1 isn't the same as Ah-Un.

We are wasting precious resources. Instead of sending mooks to randomly chosen locations, we must discover the underlying pattern that's bound to rise from one of minefields. Tread carefully and make notes of what works - for example, the technique of jump in place simply doesn't cut it even in the eyes of the Sergeant, it is just a way to tie up our precious Canadian resources. I'm also suspicious of the smug bastard on top of the minefield: why can't we just throw our dice, test our luck and deal with him in a way that does not interrupt the flow of resources into our training. The minefield has no place for drones and parasites!

Ah, yes, the expert grid. I've taken real teams out to minefields, fully trained squads under capable leadership, where one unified strategy takes things nice and slow, and usually you can solve the field with minimal guesswork.

But not expert. It doesn't matter how smart you are. It doesn't matter how capable your men are. Eventually, you encounter an uncertainty. And you have to guess. I've lost so many men to the expert grid. And you're taking rookies out here?! Outsmarting cats takes an entirely different skillset than outsmarting that smiley, and just because these men were able to take all the cheese doesn't mean they can withstand 99 mines! It's suicide!

And I'm walking out there myself. I'm tired of all this war peacekeeping. Seen too many mines. Hell, I'm not even part of this outfit, or this military. I've been clearing mines for the Americans, but this is the only place left where I can find a decent mine drill to throw myself into. So. I'm heading out to D6, sir. And perhaps one final chain of 99 explosions can wipe away the hundreds of lives I have seen lost.
