Nope they literally draft people from the past to do seven-day tours in the future war zone. And most of them don’t make it back.
It insinuates that they are taking people they knew were going to be dead before the alien invasion begins, in order to avoid “paradox” but it doesn’t really make any sense.
Yeeaaaahhh let’s kill off all our ancestors before the war even happens! No wonder they are running out of people in the future. Must be liberal generals running the war.
It’s a lot easier to sell as a you will only have to be there 7 days… what could go wrong in 7 days. rather than You don’t reproduce anymore people and the rest of your life is insignificant so we can throw you into a meat grinder with almost no cost to our future. And if you make it through your 7 days good for you.
I'm pretty sure the messenger went back in time to tell them to get ready, not to take potentially important ancestors out of the gene pool.

7 day tours? That doesn't even make sense.

If the life expectancy of your troops is less than 7 days there's no amount of troops that will help.
At that point your enemy is so technologically superior that there's nothing you could do.
Almost like 30 years of focused technological development would be a better use of the time travel technology.
