I'll ignore the polotical remark and add:

I fought a shipping attack once vs lobstermen using gauss rifles and
grenades.

After what was a rather LONg battle I ended up falling back to the ship and
leaving.  with each soldier having 1 extra clip and each lobsterman taking
almost a full clip to knock down I was running out of ammo and had zero
chance of completing the first stage of the mission, let alone stage 2.  Now
once you use Sonic Pulsars, one of thos weakens them to the point that 3
hits from a guass rifle can knock them down.  But once again your stepping
into the Sonic research tree.  :(

I think regular grenades just tickle them, but you do get some satisfaction
in throwning the grenade and they do provide some smoke cover.
