I posted about this bug, and you tried valiantly to fix it, Warboy. The first fix turned it into a CTD situation, and the fix for that reverted it back to before. I figured I should just count my blessings and live with it.
Lesser of two evils, laziness on my part to re-report a zombie issue, just used the awareness of it to simply remove my scouts before I equip my squad at base. I like the way Ascadix puts it though. Much more succinct than I would be capable of.
