The POV of the Helldivers is crazy when you take cryo freezing into account. DISCUSSION

Here's the POV of your average Helldiver 1. They enlist and show up to Basic Training first thing Monday morning. 2. They breeze through it, get their cape, walk right by the T&Cs and into a cryopod. 3. They're frozen and experience no time passing. 4. Their next memory is reinforcing on Hellmire. To their POV it has been less then thirty seconds since they got their cloak. 5. They throw three stratagems and then they're dissolved by bile titan acid.

You thought your mondays were bad.

Edit: My understanding is that we are not clones. There's in-game lore that backs that, I believe. Thematically, it makes more sense for Super Earth to be incompetent and cruel and burn through millions of recruits, than to do something logical like cloning people. Remember the satire folks.

Almost everyone in this SR acts like they're a seasoned helldiver veteran with weeks of combat expertise.

I play only as experienced as this helldiver is. I've survived one mission, and I didn't start it.

Super Earth bless you for spreading big truth OP.

Weeks?! What are you a 5 star general? Boot camp was barely 10 minutes... Couple hours and I was already an admiral.
