It would have made more sense to explain that close combat is a tactic that is vital for anti-BETA tactics due to ammo limits rather than stoking Yuuya's bi-racial fears.

Still doesn't TE go past Alternative? What other SS go past that? It would be nice to know the post Primary Hive efforts to clear the Earth of BETA.
Nah, he's still condemned at this point, even with XM3, because of lack of real combat experience, and treating the whole thing as a game.

And for close-combat, its a culture thing. America has all the bullets they need, and don't see close combat as a viable option, preferring long distance engagement. Other countries do see it as an excellent option, to save bullets, as resources are low.

TE might go up to Alt. So far only Succession, Owari, seems to show a bit of post MLA. If you look at the timelines, they started mopping up Hives around 2003.

Spoiler for Post MLA:
