It is almost like they sat down with the a book of mental illnesses and picked one for each character. :\ Sometimes I feel if this is the best humanity has to offer then maybe the cyclons are right and they should be wiped out. But then someone will do something amazing like Lee helping the President escape or even Starbuck taking a chance to follow her beliefs and go retrieve the arrow of Apollo.As for the old show there were two types of security council and warriors the warriors defended the Galatcia only. They were marines because the ship had no ground forces they were forced to assume that task because of need.As for bring transport pilots well it was said in the first episode that many shuttle pilots had been lost in the attack on Correlion so Viper piolts had to help fill in the losses. I can go on and on and debate each one and the reasons it made sense for them to be doing the job. But the real reason was they were the main heroes of the show and that is why they did it. But I never felt that say Starbuck was better at everything than say Apollo or Boomer or Sheba.As for Starbuck yes I don't like the character she grates on me. And if a male was playing the character the same way it would grate on me as well.I do have some issues though about double standards with the character. The male Starbuck could have sex all he wanted and no one judged him. Thrace has sex and it is called a mistake she is screwing up. She is judged to be promiscuous. Maybe she just likes sex. Why does it have to be a character flaw. Do people consider it a character flaw in James Bond.</blockquote>
