6. GM's bankruptcy has not affected the giant robot market.
7. US soldiers are more effective in stopping giant robots than any other armed forces in the world. This includes Japan, even though they are better at stopping giant lizards.
8. Us soldiers will happily disobey direct orders and risk creating an international incident and/or court martial/going to prison for treason based on the phone calls from teenagers, because they "trust him" and their boss is a jerk.
