She recognizes Stanton, and from her brief interaction with her, feels tentatively optimistic about her assignment.

"Several reasons." She's not going to get pissy. It's a smart question to ask. "A bit of it's tradition. The melee's a big part of what sets the Ghost Wolves apart as mobile infantry. Mission's always been about maneuverability and versatility. Everyone's got to be proficient long range and close range."
She shrugs. "And for certain missions, melee works better. Right tool for the job."

"Why are we assigned melee weapons at all?" Anderson is obedient, not unthinking. (Far from unthinking.)
