I hit my lifetime tolerance for heroic tales of children drafted into draconian, high mortality super-soldier programs justified as required for the greater good sometime around the end of the novel version of Ender's Game. Please adjust your story lines accordingly.

Watch on the Rhine.

(be careful what you wish for)

I've thought of a way to send old people in space. Postulate that full-body cyborgs are a lot better in space, and that people don't want to become full-body cyborgs if they have a choice. "So, I see you have terminal cancer..."

James: have you seen the Nanoha serieses?

Heh. Nanoha's pretty firmly on the heroic side of the equation, though. (Well, except for the "no child labor laws" thing.)

What about Puella Magi Madoka Magica, AKA "Magical Princess Faustus"? That one's screwy.
