They're not entirely worthless, but they lack a lot of the special abilities the later promotions have that you will definitely need to fight back against the stronger aliens.

I would like a setup where losing soldiers and taking heavy causalities isn't an instant call for a restart. Too many games are like that where if you lose just one member of the team during a mission, you might as well restart, even though you're mowing down hundreds of enemy soldiers...
