storyline question: Why is phalanx a secret organization?

(1/13) > >>

bluereaper75:
I mean the intro of the game talks about UFO's attacking cities and killing thousands... the panic caused by this worldwide must be immense, so why is phalanx a secret organization? It seems to me that the government could go public at this point, since the alien/human war is hardly a secret, and because it would be a morale booster to know something like this.

Borsti67:
Phalanx is a very small Organization. What would you think about your government, when you hear your family (and thousands of others) was slaughtered by Aliens and all they (seem to) do is an investigation department?
The technology Phalanx has (and later on finds and develops) is nt available all over the world, and since you only have this one base (= this one chance) any publicity would make it an easier-to-hit target.

finally, someone explained this mystery : ))))
all the story and everything makes sense now.
to think that it was so obvious all along.

president: a secret army is protecting earth from aliens.
people: secret army? ??? how many soldiers?
president: 8 million. we might have to raise taxes.

Nutter:
So, basically, it's cheaper to just have a secret army of 8, then?
