-->'''Chuck:''' Let's be adults here. You have a ship full of weapons, working with government authority, that has military ranks, military-style protocols, which comes to defend systems from military threats. You are personally armed with lethal weapons. Your government has no other organization that is called or like a military in any way whatsoever. And if you fail to follow through on your duty, you're court martialed, a word which means "military court". Your primary purpose may be the exploration of space, see, but the space shuttle wasn't fitted with a machine gun, and Neil Armstrong didn't land on the moon with a holster on his spacesuit. I beat this point into the ground because I find it not only childish, but I think it does a disservice to the real men and women in the real military. To pretend that Starfleet is so much nobler or something because they're not a military. In my not so humble opinion, I think it shows the attitude of the creative staff at this time was still trapped in a Vietnam anti-military way of thinking. Pretending that Starfleet is not military is like pretending that Patrick Stewart is not bald! ''It's there for everybody to see!''
