The Human Liberation Front. An organization of terrorists, xenophobes, and bigots. An organization dedicated to the destruction of ponykind. An organization against the peaceful coexistence of two species. If the peace and love of Equestria is to help a shattered humanity, this evil group must be eliminated.
But to Jack Beckett and others, that couldn't be farther from the truth.

For OPT-related material not in the main story itself, read Side Stories.

What is this? A re-write? *le read* The awesomeness of this just went up about 35%.
Next re-written chapter please?

I hope we see more of Gene Seed soon. Pony defectors are so underused even in the anti-TCB genre.

All I'm going to say is this: if a significant character hasn't been killed off yet, they're probably not out of the story.

Spoilers sent in PM

Kill everypony! Suffer not the ponyxenos to live! FOR TEH EMPRAH!!

I when 'THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!' at the ending. But then I remembered: 'It's a re-write! He wouldn't do that!'

You wouldn't, right?
RIGHT?!

... That ending better not be what I think it is.

Nice portrayal of how the ponies vilify the HLF.

Nazi pony cover art?

You've got my read.

"... full of greed. You know, I’ve realized something. You humans are too stupid, selfish, and ignorant to know what is good for you. You humans refuse to take the obvious path to salvation."

....I couldn't favorite fast enough...lol. The story is great I would love to read more :D.

Just browsing comments before started reading, found no justification whatsoever for the 15 downvotes.
If this riled up the TCB misanthropes this quickly...

I like it!

No major errors and I like the plausible futuristic tech you employed with the Ghosts.

Well, it's pretty old and the original version sucked major ass. I'm currently renovating it and probably 10 of the people who downvoted did so for legitimate reasons. Furthermore, 38 unfortunately comments vanished because I deleted the chapters they were attached to rather than just unpublishing them (sadface).

1507015
They're not Ghosts anymore. Just regular old Green Berets from the 3rd SGF. Although, the Ghosts are literally glorified Green Berets (it says so in the original game's intro). Although I did 'steal' some concepts such as active camo and augmented reality because that stuff is in R&D now. I'm pretty sure it will be usable by 2048.

1507074 I'll still take a gander anyway. Expect feedback.

1507074, you referred to them as Ghosts.

Archer and the high value target got onboard first, the three other Ghosts following one by one. The strapped in themselves and their captive and then Rambo pounded on the cockpit door, signalling for takeoff.

1507087
Ghosts? What Ghosts? It must be those false memories again, you minority of one.

:pinkiecrazy:

If they realy want to be effective they should steal the syrum and try to reverse enginer it so they can try to make a counter or antidote.

1512359

They have one of the guys who helped make the serum, so in that regard they actually have one better.

Gene Seed best pone :rainbowkiss:

Hm... I wonder, what role changelings will play if they will have a chance.

I love this :D

Yes they are mere fire signals. Don't worry about the explosions they are nothing to be concerned with. :pinkiecrazy:

Dude, NICE. :rainbowwild:

LOL pony warriors are dead stupid they are warriors we are soldiers

Soldiers>Warriors

A man who fights a war for honor= idiot

we are soldiers not warriors we don't fight for honor

Ha! Honorable combat versus combat pragmatism. Gee, I wonder who will win!

Outside of that, I really freaking hate how freaking overwanked ponies are in this. Yes, I know other stories do it too but guess what? Those stories are usually pure shit. I mean I can see some advantages, but just plain being better because "lol, magic!" is weak as hell. I mean aren't flight and magic good enough? I mean do they really have to be stronger, faster, more agile- Ha! Sorry, but that last is complete bs! Watch a horse try to turn 180 degrees vs a human and you'll see why. but seriously, extended life? Fuck with our medicines we live longer than past humans ever live, but the quasi-medieval ponies can live for centuries? What is this crap?! Is it another example of "lolmagic!" because we sure as hell know Equestria isn't free from illness.

I really freaking hate how freaking overwanked ponies are in this.

Could you give specific examples? So far every time there's been combat between ponies and humans it's been pretty one-sided, and I don't believe I have specified whether or not ponies have things like extended life or superior senses.

1712598, I can't fucking believe I'm actually defending ponywank but modern weapons are possibly some of the finest and most destructive tools ever made. If it was modern weapons vs. an unwanked Equestria, well, that's a boring as fuck battle. Yeah, that's how'd it play out in the real world with weapons effective out to hundreds of meters to hundreds of kilometers but it makes a boring story.


---------------

Still, I like how you showed the Equestrian guard as having this arrogant superiority to Humans as well as this sense of honor in warfare. Yeah, fighting fair is for losers.

By the way, two things that stuck out:

“Yeah,” Rambo agreed. “Horsey’s not a very good infil method.”

- Something about this looks really awkward.

Also, when referring to distance in kilometers, the term is "klick". You wrote "click" which means one second of arc, or -- in other words, one inch of distance at one hundred yards (usually in reference to sighting weapons).

1721101 No, an unwanked Equestrian force wouldn't be as steamrolled as you might think. Think. Equestrians would have an unprecedented control over the skies. I mean yes, fighter jets would be untouchable outside of lucky lightning strikes, but aside from that, there are a lot more pegasi than there are jets. Not too mention how much havok magic would wreak. A little creativity in how it's used and Equestria could put up an excellent fight with out being stupidly over wanked. I'm asking for a well-thought out and mostly level battle, not a curbstomp either way.

1721395
How about you just read the next chapter when it's out, which will completely focus on the battle?

1721405 I was actually looking up examples to support my earlier comment. This seems like a good example of the extended life one.

They have spent more time training than you've been alive.

More time training than the human soldiers have been alive? Um, yeah, unless Equestria turned into freaking Sparta offscreen, I don't see how that's possible without extended lifespans.

1721429
If you come up with a list, I'll adress those points as I can. But for the one you have:
1) The speech was C&Ped from /mlp/
2) The EI is mostly earth ponies, and trained from early ages*
3) Most are upper 20s, early 30s at the lower ranks*
4) Earth ponies have greater resilience, thus things like life-span and fast healing (as seen in chapter 2)

*medieval-esque military subculture trains kids from early ages to be soldiers

1735446 Will do when I get some extra time. Now I'm swamped in exams.

Man, and I'm watching the Pacific while reading this. Thanks boored. You made my eyes hurt. In a good way. That meant tears. If it wasn't obvious.

“He’s dead, he’s dead! The battle’s over!”

Change this to "The battle's over! Stop beating a dead horse!" and I will sacrifice an alpaca in your name.

You just made me want to punch my screen... somehow.

(:rainbowlaugh: did I get the reaction right?)

1872676
Thanks. If you see any other inaccuracies please point them out.

The medics were unable to tend to the stranded due to the machine gun fire which indiscriminately cut down anyone caught in no-man’s-land.

:trollestia:: I'm a goddess, your Geneva Conventions mean nothing to me!

1894509
Well, considering the EU's all but collapsed at this point, the US is in another isolationist phase, and the NAD is essentially a glorified Caeser's Legion with hardware bought from the US in exchange for exclusive access to raw resources...

I think the Geneva Convention's pretty void at this point. Especially since even if people cared about it, no one could really enforce it.

Yeah, the last time we fought with honor and bravery was WW1, it didn't end well.

-Slaps Jack across the face-

GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF SOLDIER!

I love being a combat pragmatist.

Though there always is that "line" that if crossed, turns it into something worse.

Your radio procedure is incorrect. "Rodger" and "wilco" are redundant.

CIA

Oh man that part about Lyra and hammer strike made me feel bad.
Don't get me wrong the ponies are messed up in their benign ideology of being a better race, but as the goes on there are those who actually wanted true peace with the humans as per example the Amish.
It sucks that he died but that's how life is dealt with when in the military fighting for what you believe in for the ones you love.
The one thing that TCB can do well is show good drama on both sides of the spectrum.
