''SuperMario64'' reference - when Mario is low on health he can jump into water and then come back out with his health refilling - due to the breath meter being the health meter. This alien used the same thing!

Humans have so many tall buildings, whereas the aliens only have a few of those kinds of things. Humanity ''must'' be some kind of existential threat! It's time to invade with the army they have, not the army they want! As for WMDs, well, the aliens apparently were never in a situation where they would need to invent such things.

It would explain their inconsistent tech level: they can buy tons of guns and hire Third-world mercenaries to wield them, but things like WMDs or an extra-orbital command post are outside their budget/ illegal to privately own. It would also explain why the soldiers are unarmored but well armed- if the soldiers are payed after the conquest or with a cut of the booty, every corpse is a bonus to the bottom line.
