I would advise you to wait and see for yourself before making rash decisions. Nobody forces you to include them. And playing without them will give you tremendous disadvantage, but hey, if you like challenge....
Besides, there are few units that are quite unique, useful or practical ... from veterans. I'll say it's an interesting addon to a game.
