"So why did we create these mutant dragoness amazons again?"
"First, because they're completely self sufficient on the battle field, they have no equipment that can be stolen or intercepted. Also, they require no protection, since anything that could pierce their scales, well, a normal soldier is gonna die if they're on the business end of a tank cannon at point blank range anyway. Them? They MIGHT die. A gun can run out of bullets, these ladies aren't going to run out of breath."
"They WERE all volunteers right?"
"If you're asking if we kidnapped random innocent people, no we didn't."
"That's not quite... so why are they all women?"
"The draconic muscle density is so high that they could fold Hulk Hogan like origami already, but the female form we've concluded via testing, is comparatively much more agile in comparison, and MUCH faster. In short, we get a much higher trade off. And there is a certain cultural irony."
"Is that why they're naked except for their dog-tags?"
"Any equipment we could give them is dead weight. Though we have been experimenting with miniature headsets or surgically implanted. We've also thanks to their DNA that's still human, being able to filter out that pesky 'ME! ME! ME!' 'MINE! MINE! MINE!' draconic instincts. While keeping the ferocity, and keeping the social animal part needed to function as a combat unit. They're all fully trained soldiers. Claws, wings, horn, tail, talons... they're all lethal weapons, and I DON'T mean at just close range. We've taken the traits from different 'breathers' and modified them so they can use their breath weapon at close and far distance range as good as any sniper."
