   Only true if you don't count most of the combat jobs.

   Yes, it is.  But give each squad a robot pack mule or three or have infantry   
   be "mounted" or have a great need to reduce the total size of your   
   power-suited spaceship boarding parties to fit through standard spaceship   
   corridors, and strength might become    
   a secondary concern.
