I see what you mean, but I disagree. Worst case scenario, you've just poured tons of battalion resources into a failed project.
The point I am making is that, while there is initial interest in the squad, it will not be sustainable at all and will not last. People have always used Foxtrot as a transition squad, and I don't think it will be used any differently now. It will gradually wind down to be how it has always been, a squad filled with people who want RC but are held back because of love for 212th or just general insufficiency for SO BDE.
I understand what you're saying about GC, but I don't think it applies to Foxtrot. As you said, Ghost Company receives the extra lore names and the prestige within 212th, and those who join it are the most elite troopers that 212th has to offer. I don't believe that this mentality that people have with Ghost Company will apply to Foxtrot. People will view it as a weird SO BDE junior rather than a 212th elite squad. The mentality of Foxtrot was never and has never been, as a 212th Elite RC Squad. It has been as a 212th/SOBDE Hybrid amalgamation that people used as a tool to have an SO BDE experience mixed with a traditional battalion.
Foxtrot is unsustainable in the long run. The addition of it now is pointless, and I can see it being removed again. That is the argument I have against Foxtrot, and from my original message. The squad will run fine, but not for long. It will have interest, but not for long. It will have members who want to be in it for it, and are active in it, but not for long.
I hope this clarifies things. If you'd like to keep talking about these things, let me know! I have good experience.
