Aren't you Willing to do the Same

Humanity was "new" to the whole super soldier program, in the fact that their tech was not as advanced as other species but with what they got, they were good, blossoming quickly to becoming a force that others said didn't need super soldier enhancement.
The Thraki Super Soldiers were not enjoying this, and so convinced the Humans to a War Exercise involving the best of their Dakstes Super Soldiers against the best of the Human Alliance Naval Marine Corp.
Tor'dakar and his squad were flanking the Humans forces who were engaging the main force of their Enclave in the forests of the Moon above their homeworld.
Despite having the home field advantage, the Humans were able to set up quickly within 6 hours a decent defense that gave the Dakstes veterans pause and great respect.
Stun blasts and armor lock grenades flew across the battlefield as gunships engaged in flash-fires as High Command made sure the chaos of simulated warfare wouldn't end up with accidental casualties, except for the fact that a Private twisted his ankle sliding down the hillface and needed to be medivac out of there.
Tor'dakar received orders to exploit a flank as his men found a lone human trooper seemingly eating an MRE Sandwich with barbeque sauce as he reached out with his stun baton.
A blur of armor rushed towards the Human as Tor'dakar slipped and fell into a pit trap lined with stun points that locked his armor. "HAHAHAHA" The Human laughed "I knew becoming bait was gonna work"
Tor'dakar looked at him "Yeah, but there are more of us than you, Human"
The Human's smile faded as Tor'dakar's squad aimed their stun blasters at him.
"Not bad, you got our squad leader, but you didn't get all of us"
The Human's smile returned, even more confident "Yes, but my life for the lives of a full squad? WORTH IT" as he flicked a dead-mans switch as a canopy filled with stun grenades dropped and set off, stunning the entire flanking squad, the sound gathering the attention of the main force that cut off the flanking remainder resulting in a brutal tie.
As they assessed they asked the Humans "Are you guys really willing to sacrifice your lives to defeat your enemy?"
The Marine commander looked at his men who just shrugged "Aren't you?"
The Thraki knew that making a Dakstes super soldier was very expensive, and while being a soldier made you a resource, they were not exactly willing to immediately do whatever's necessary.
This simple exchange as coined Human soldiers as "Devil Hogs" due to their understanding that Humans have an animal that isn't smart like a predator, picking fights wisely, but instead like a prey animal out of hell that will do anything to take you down with it if it means victory.
