If I was forced to use the 3 million number I'd just clarify it as being one army out of thousands.

Or state that that was the strength of the special forces.

3 million ARC troopers would be a nasty force to handle...

That would be a great way of dealing with it. Just "modify" what she meant to mean the spec forces.

Well, if anyone was able to kill a hundred to one... then surely it must have meant the ARC troopers who make the Commandos look soft... :roll:

I like that idea. Still though is 3 million arc troopers too small? lol. Maybe that's a question for the army size thread. I'd probably be an asshole and say there are over five million arc troopers haha
How many Minbari does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

It is. 22 SAS is about 250 men strong, out of an army of less than 100,000. Assuming the ratio were the same, the entire GAR would be only a billion strong. Then only way to rationalise even that would be to assume that the Republic effectively ignores special forces ops.
