When an armed and threatening power arrives...


we don't meet them with tea and cookies!

Great line, but the funny thing is that I don't recall the aliens being very threateneing.
They clearly stated a desire for a peaceful accomodation and humans always fired first.

Their "peaceful accomodation" was unconditional surrender and be their slaves. Though it is true the Army did not know this at the time, the saucer men thought they did because of the message they sent Marlowe's character. They were baddies from the start.
