Aliens Nuke the Site from Orbit Hat

"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure." Corporal Dwayne Hicks (Michael Biehn) delivering the second-most-quoted line in James Cameron's Aliens (1986) — sandwiched between Hudson's panic and Ripley's contempt for Carter Burke, in the briefing room aboard the USS Sulaco after the Colonial Marines have just lost half their squad to the xenomorphs on LV-426. The line worked because Hicks was right. The line endured because forty years later, every time someone looks at a problem and decides to skip the negotiating phase, they reach for it. Aliens didn't just become one of the greatest science fiction sequels ever made — it built the entire vocabulary of military sci-fi that came after it: power loaders, motion trackers, M41A pulse rifles, smartguns, Colonial Marines, dropships, and the kind of tactical-yet-doomed swagger that would echo through Halo, Starship Troopers, Warhammer 40K, Helldivers, and a thousand games and books since. This hat puts Cpl Hicks's solution on your head. Built for Aliens fans, Colonial Marines roleplayers, science fiction enthusiasts, military veterans who quote the movie too often, gamers who came up on Aliens vs Predator and Colonial Marines, James Cameron devotees, Sigourney Weaver fans, and anyone who's ever looked at a problem and thought orbital bombardment really is the cleanest option.
