No, it is wrong, because you implied that the Guard is largely made up of cowards and also implied there are only a few noteworthy exceptions. You did not make a logical statement such as 'they are not all incredible badasses'. No, you implied that sociopathic monsters like Lijah Fething Cuu vastly outnumber good soldiers. This is egregiously false. I won't call all of them heroes, but they are a hugely effective fighting force made of competent soldiers and leaders. They don't die by the billions due to systematic incompetence. They die by the billions because of the incredible forces that they dare stand against.
Hence, giant balls.

Not true, according to most current edition fluff the Guard is, on the whole, a competent and well equipped force. Earlier editions had comical descriptions of apathetic generals and absurd WW1 tactics, but those are gone in favor of a more modern combined arms philosophy. There are exceptions, especially if you count the PDF, who are less capable as befitting Planetary Militia. But read some 5th edition codex, or really any IG novel and you will see some truly great men and regiments.
Your view of the Guard is rather skewed, and well, wrong.

I don't see your point.
But the Balls on them, man! The balls!
I am looking forward to Space Marine immensely, though I deeply resent the accusation that the Imperial Guard are weak. They fight gene forged supersoldiers, eldritch abominations, and ancient death machines with nothing more than Flak Armor and standard issue Lasrifles. The ones who live do so on their humongous, cast iron balls.
I corrected what I saw as on ignorant error, and which instead turned out to be a poor attempt at humor. Either way, my statements stand. I am not angry, this is disdain. You have shown your character here, and it is that of an emaciated imbecile, hardly worthy to stand my rhetorical footprint.
So, think of me what you will. You've already shown me what you are.

Never thought I'd be disturbed by Saber, of all characters. But whatever that thing is, it's damn creepy.
Aye, are you?
I read them, my point still stands. If that was humor, I pity whoever is around to hear your inane prattling on a daily basis, wretch.
Way to insult one of the richest, most storied universes in modern tabletop gaming based on a title, moron.
The Warhammer Space Marine codified said trope, they have a trade mark on the very term. You are speaking from ignorance, don't attempt wit without basis.

If that's the first time you've heard Steve Blum somewhere other than Bulletstorm you must be deaf.
That looked awful. I will be seeing it day one.
I enjoyed reading your response, and I agree with most of your points. As I am sure you noticed, I was being sarcastic.
I find the Fire Emblem games to be pretty good examples of that, human characters on both sides and such.

Wait, seeing both sides of a conflict? A possibly nuanced and heartfelt examination of the toll of war on everyone involved? This is positively unmerican!
Then don't worry about it, he's either lying or referring to what happen's when you run out of continues, which is rather horrific in and of itself.
I have completed the game, by the way.

I'll just leave this here...
Kick me if Im wrong, but is that Tyrion Lannister fighting Wolverine with a crossbow while on the back of a dinosaur?
Oh, I agree, I just took issue with your exact statement.
It seems he confused fascist with right wing, which would at least have a veneer of truth to it.
Personally I despise Objectivism and everything it entails, but it's not fascist. That's wholly another animal.

At the same time, you cannot honestly tell me that the Marines are devoid of muscular Latin men. He looks unremarkable, but that may be the point. I just don't see the violent opposition to him.
