whew.  If you had been around the group longer you'd have learned that
many feel that Apoc was something Less than an expansion for Xcom in
general.  That Apoc was a bastard child and did not deserve to be
included as part of the Xcom universe.  

So... to take that a step farther, Apoc was a step backwards.  In the
real world of Xcom you have to fight like a MAN, no one crawls, no one
kneels, everyone stand and fights.

Of course a few like to turn and run away, but thats a different
story!  ;)
