The Sulaco was a rapid response ship, as the colony on LV-426 was small there wasn't any need to send more than two squads to check out what Burke passed off as a downed transmitter.

According to the old USCM's Tech Manual the Sulaco was capable of carrying 90 troops for normal operations and 2,000 in an emergency. Of course we have no real idea how much of the ship was taken up by the drives and other systems.
I'll write it off as " Burke wanted the operation smaller" so that they'd have to kill less witnesses later...

Did I say that?

Anyways, yeah Burke arranged for a green Lt. and a minimal number of troops. Ripley states that he intended to smuggle the Xenomorphs through ICC quarantine in the Marines bodys after putting them in cryosleep. Easier to do if there's a small number.

That's what I meant. Easier to pull off a covert op with twenty-odd people than two hundred.

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Funny this item should show up on our forum at this time. We've been working on similar items for the site. Given the talk on here we decided to release the ones we have already finished, rather than waiting for them all for be ready.

Anyway, if you go to the episode reviews there's a new line in the table 'Moral'. It will have one or more items listed against it that are meant to summarise what the episode is supposed to teach you. If you click them you will see a full page 'poster' style version of the entry. If you don't see an entry then we just haven't got to the episode yet. We've done all of the TOS episodes and lots of the TNG and DS9 ones.

Suggestion:

On the main page have a Moral button, clicking it will take you to a random one.

Also while in moral maybe have a button that will take you to the next one so you dont have to go back then to the next episode then click the next one.
