When Trek is Moronic

[kkglinka]

So... in Starfleet universe everyone is super nice and no one ever goes for the head-shot, right? Or is it just part of the list of things designed to make security officers look implausibly dysfunctional and incompetent to the point that my suspension of disbelief goes flying out the window? The list goes something like this:

• No helmets to prevent common head injuries.
  
• No flak armor to avoid the most common cause of death: shrapnel.
  
• No ducking and covering.
  
• No squadron formation.
  
• No back-up or hand weapon.
  
• No extra power-cells.
  
• No permission to engage the enemy even when under fire.
  
• No useful purpose at all aside from being disposable decor.
  

In conclusion, an entire Starfleet security company could be easily disable by a group of girl scouts wielding their berets as weapons. The officers would all stand around aimlessly waiting for explicit permission to take away the berets while one of them wasted time trying to make friends with a shrieking girl.

I'll bet the Daleks could invade and defeat the Federation in one day.

And then we're supposed to believe that the Federation was able to hold off the Dominion and I'm laughing my ass off because that's like being told over and over again that Wesley was a child genius when he was obviously some sort of idiot savant who couldn't understand basic human functions until he was thirty, or something.

You see? I make a terrible trekkie.
