i said pdf, not imperial guard not to explode on you in particular, but retard secondaries who don't know shit about the setting think that the guard is made up of misfits and draftees while the actuality for 99% of them besides joke regiments is that they are supposed to be the top of the top of their ability for human military forces. if earth right now were to get the notice from the imperium that we had to put together a regiment of imperial guard for tithe, it would be made up of green beret and spetznas and every other specialist set of forces with the highest training and skill all pooled together into one fighting force. the reason they die so frequently and easily in battles and lore is not to say that they are weak, but rather to be the meterstick by which the setting is seen as terrifyingly hopeless and nightmarish because they are supposed to be the peak of human performance before transhumanist shit like being space marines comes into play   regular army retards of today are pdf, planetary defense forces, which are native to whatever world and not good enough to reach even the lowest state of being a guardsmen (someone intended to be shipped around the galaxy as an elite (but mortal) fighting force)
