Let me just step in on behalf of a lot of veterans and say that's one of the most hideously inaccurate summaries I've seen all year.
Then correct me appropriately. Provide links and citations or I'll go along with my interpretation of legion lore which has served me well so far. Do your job, Echo, admins aren't meant to fire off blatting one liners nor compounding the very old-player stereotypes I'm attempting to combat at the present.
Apologies for being massively peeved, but don't immaturely throw turds. You're a Dev, explain the damn story if I'm ignorant, and I won't argue with you. K'piche?
So why exactly should he spend the time to inform you if you're too lazy to read the HF story? The sense of entitlement is rather fancy.
Actually, I did. Please do not accuse me of factors I never implied.
Why are you now throwing character slights at me?
I assumed it was easy enough to gather that from the story as I did, sorry. Regardless, It's not his job to correct your ignorance. Nor is it his job to be a carebear. He does enough for this community as a dev that I couldn't give two craps if he hurts someones feelings, and neither should you. You want answers to your questions? Ask politely, don't parade around like you own the place.
EDIT: Okay, let me put this in different terms. Xenos and Hellfire Legion. On one side, you have terrorists. On the other side, you have basically unlawful combatants. There's a large difference between Xenos and HF. For all intensive purposes, HF is basically another nation albeit smaller than all attacking the Liberty forces. Xenos prey on the civilian population and LPI (which also classify as civilians really.) Comparing terrorists to a military or a military to terrorists in itself is extremely offensive to either side and quite inaccurate, depending on how you look upon it.
Their goals are also different. Xenos want foreign trade expunged. HF really just wants the corrupt government removed from the throne.
Also, it's worth noting that Xenos really only shoot the Navy with HF for the alliance terms. We don't really care what the navy does because they're just puppets of the politicians. Usually, we really only shoot navy if they bring capitals into Colorado/Kepler or if they attack us. Xenos quarrel is more with corporations and foreign influences than Liberty forces. The government allowed outsourcing of labor but the corporations actually decided to do it.
